Unfortunately, it is missing the center spread!

Talk about vices! The couple on page one, panel one, have a total of three lit cigarettes.

Wild, for its time, apparently. Fairly tame today.

OtherEric:
Pretty sure the center spread is there, looking at the GCD entry the text story was in the centerfold and that's there.  It may be missing a different wrap, or by missing the seller may mean 'loose'.

I'm certainly not going to blow my entire Emerald City Comic Con budget for this year on one book I don't personally want and would only care for to scan.  BUT... I think the price tag is probably close to the floor of what a complete scanable copy is going to run at this point.

So I'm not interested in spending my personal dollars on this item, but I am definitely interested in the more general sense.  If I didn't think setting up a pool to buy a rare book to scan was a bad idea in general I would probably be willing to throw $100 or so to somebody else to help defray the costs.

Snard:
If you look closer at the pictures, you can see that the centerfold is a reproduction of some kind. It looks very good, however.

bminor:
Oh I see!
The white edge around the edge of the paper.
The seller should indicate that it has a replica insert center spread.
Don't you think?
