All Waddle pieces for Tanglefoot have been punched out, while all other characters remain unpunched w/just a few loose perforations here and there. The stiff paper sheet that held Tanglefoot's Waddle pieces remains bound in the book but Tanglefoot's pieces are no longer included. Pages have very lt. aging but remain quite clean overall. Book VF. Waddles come w/original brass pieces and envelope used in assembly of the Waddles and Waddles pages themselves are Exc. Overall still a very nice example of this book, rarely found this complete.
