They are labelled Ep1 (blue paper) and Ep2 (yellow paper). Both scripts are complete and the condition is good to very good. The first page of Ep1 is soiled from being at the top during. 35yrs of storage but could easily be cleaned; and the. Final page of Ep1 is present but detached. Pages of both scripts are (unusually) very clean. Some of the pages (mainly Ep1) have folded/rounded corners. And occasional minor discolouration at the edges, but no more.Than would be expected from a'working' script of this age. If unsure of any potential extra cost.
