Condition

Used / “Circulated” (or “Used, not mint”)

Notes:

The cover shows surface wear & light marking.

The staple / stitch binding appears intact.

If you determine it is mint never hinged, adjust accordingly, but from appearance “used / circulated” is safer.

Valuation / Reference Price

A mint, never-hinged copy of NP-30 (September 1968) has been listed at £35.00

A listing of 2/- Machin stitched booklets (NP-series) shows catalogue (retail) pricing of £1.00 to £3.75 depending on issue / condition

Given your copy has wear, a valuation in the £5 – £15 range might be more realistic, depending on interior condition, completeness, and market demand.

So I’d recommend putting your “Valuation” as something like £10 (you can state “based on condition & market comparable listings”).
