The book measures 8.75 inches x 5.75 inches.
The 283 pages are nice and neat, with light foxing near the covers/rims. The binding is very good with no loose or missing pages. There is a previous owner’s personal stamps at the front, and a few minor markings in the margins.
The original cloth hardback cover is in very good condition for its age, with minor wear/bumps and is a little grubby. The gold on the spine is very good.
A wonderful vintage edition – the starting price is just ONE PENNY, with NO RESERVE, and I WILL SELL to the highest bidder.
I am more than happy to combine shipping on multiple purchases and cost will be determined on the total weight of your wins (see below for costs and full details).

No reserve...
...and a give-away starting price...
...so happy bidding!!!
