Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The market for political satire coloring books is niche and the value of a graded copy rarely exceeds the cost of grading, shipping, and handling.
Notable Features
Art by Mort Drucker. Satirical humor characteristic of late 80s political commentary. Historically interesting as a 'Farewell Tribute' issued at the end of the Reagan presidency.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1988 edition. Print registration is sharp. The paper is standard matte coloring book stock which is prone to yellowing over time.
