THE NORTH CHINA MARINE

Published Weekly By and For
U.S. Marines in China

FAIR only. In very fragile condition. Chipped, acidified, brittle. Some large tears (visible in photo). A four inch tear through center of paper which affects all pages Most pages separated. (Tientsin, China: US Marine Corps, 1946). 6 pages, complete.

Very scarce newspaper published by the US Marines stationed in North China immediately after WWII. Complete newspaper is here, but will tolerate very little handling. Should be purchased only by someone with conservetor experience in handling fragile documents.

THIS ITEM NOT RETURNABLE. It won't survive multiple shipments. I will get it to you undamaged, as I have ten years' experience in shipping fragile books & documents. Shipping for this item is $6 (choose the Priority Mail option in the shopping cart). I will send with ample protection, fully insured, and with tracking information. Any shipping expense over $6 I will cover.

The paper has been stored folded in half, and that is how I will ship it. The paper is not so fragile that it is crumbling, but any handling runs the risk of dislodging pieces. I have examined complete paper, and it is all present. A small amount of text is affected by the center tear.

Item is priced with condition in mind.
