A good copy of an uncommon edition. The front cover is bright and the exterior hinges are good. The back cover may have sat in something damp once as it is wrinkled and mottled. Both interior hinges have been reinforced with linen tape. The preliminary and final pages have none of the creasing and little of the wear so common to these books. A bright, ordered textblock that has had a former owner paste in updates on some pages. While not ideal, they are neat and do not interfere with the text. The final pic is this at its most elaborate. For comparison it is juxtaposed to another copy without the pastings.   #259.  Click on "Warship Observer" above for 100+  JFS listings.
