About This Book Bright red boards with gilt blocking on spine, and on cover. 551 pages in great condition with equally fine fold out maps and the three supplements as issued. The staples on the supplements are rusty and have marked the rear pages with rust - that was one of two faults I was able to find. Light shelf-wear, no sunning to the spine. There are no tears, chips, or creases. No previous owner’s names or inscriptions. The plates and text pages are bright, crisp and fresh throughout. The binding and block are solid, tight and square. No missing, creased, stained, loose or damaged pages. It is complete and as a second edition all the reference material was been checked and expanded where necessary by the publisher. Please check pictures and don't hesitate to ask if you have any queries! 199 |
