Looking to purchase an Avanti Color and Upholstery Selector, 1963

Just FYI, these books usually don't always hold up very well over time.  In hot or humid conditions pages will stick together, warp, or discolor.  If I were buying one (I collect them) I would need reassurance that the exterior color pages (small pages or chips) weren't stuck together or warped badly.  Also, sometimes there are pages missing.

If a buyer is looking for a perfect example, especially a '63, then he will look for a long time, if he ever finds one.  The '63 books are rare because dealers replaced the '63 pages in the Fall of 1963 with '64 pages (and often threw the '63 pages away).

I have attached pix of my second best '63 book, showing the degradation issues with these.

based on the pictures dwight sent,(thank you dwight), my book appears pristine and a '63, no mention of any '64. i was unaware of how uncommon it was to find a book in the condition mine is; due to that i will pass it on to my grandson along with the '63 that it came with. thank you for the education.
