This is a NEW UNREAD BOOK IN EXCELLENT NM, Near Mint, CONDITION.
The item is unsold shop stock which has been in storage for many years. As such it is unread and so I have graded as NM, Near Mint. 
The FAWCETT COMPANION examines the history of FAWCETT COMICS, publisher of CAPTAIN MARVEL, THE MARVEL FAMILY, SPY SMASHER, BULLETMAN, IBIS THE INVINCIBLE and more.
Compiled from the best material from the nearly 30 year history of the FAWCETT COLLECTORS OF AMERICA Newsletter.
With over 160 pages, the book contains interviews with creators and behind the scenes looks at how the company operated from its 1940 beginnings until ceasing publication in 1953 in the wake of a legal battle with the owners of Superman.
