MAKE OFFER!
This magazine is in fair condition.  No missing pages, but the front and back covers have torn apart and are loose.  The next front and back page have torn from the staples, but not from each other.  The rest of the pages are being held well by the staples.  The front cover also has some tears, chipping and fold marks.  The back cover also has some chipping along the edges.  A few of the inner pages have some small corner folds.  No stains, writing or highlighting.  This issue has the first installment of a reprint of the book, The Compleat Goggler, by Guy Gilpatric.  SDM reprinted the whole book in four installments from March to June of 1956.  There are a lot of shark related articles.  There is an article about the diver propulsion vehicle on the cover.  Peter Stackpole, a very good early underwater photographer for National Geographic, wrote the article and did the photography.  Check out the photo of the Table of Contents.
I'll be listing a bunch of SDMs from the 1950s in the next few months.  If you are looking for a specific issue, let me know.  Multiple magazine wins mean savings on shipping fees.  Please wait for MY combined invoice.  Do not pay the eBay combined invoice because you will not get the shipping fee discount.
