Medium flat index stock brochure is in good (B) condition; there are three slightly worn vertical machine folds (as issued), along with a semi-flattened horizontal crease, a bit of light surface dirt, a few light creases/handling dings and light surface smudges here and there, a couple of stray edge dings/nips scattered around the outer margin area and a touch of toning, otherwise fine.
Semi-uncommon early-'70's festival artifact from a mostly-forgotten event (for good reason, apparently -it was a completely disorganized mess).
