The Eternal Bliss Machine: America's Way of Wedding

The book is in good condition, showing some signs of wear typical of a paperback from the 1970s. The cover has slight edge wear, and the pages are yellowed with age, but the binding remains intact and the text is clean and legible. There is no dust jacket, as is standard for this format.
