The flexible cloth covers have some creases from use and some wear to the edges but are doing their job well and the front cover embossed gilt is bright and lovely. Internally, the front and rear hinges are cracked but holding, there is faint toning to the pages, there are previous owner's X marks by some items and a few circled items. Overall nice for its age, a solid, complete, copy.
Early and Rare McKesson & Robbins pharmaceutical catalog.
From these rather humble beginnings McKesson & Robbins grew into the gigantic monster known today as McKesson Corporation, the 8th largest corporation in the United States. I wonder if it even remembers its roots.
