  • Sport: Bodybuilding
  • Original/Reproduction: Original
  • Officially Licensed: No
  • Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
  • Player: Charles Atlas
  • Condition: Well-used item. Some bent corners on multiple pages, a few pages have notations in the margins in ink, a few tears and bent corners of pages, but fewer as you get into the later lessons. Envelope is worn and creased and has some tears. Staples are okay, I see one missing staple from one of the lessons. Overall, though it holds together well, and seems to be complete as it is. Most lessons consist of a photo page at the end; lessons 12 does not, so this could be a missing page.
  • Vintage: Yes
