There appears to be a gap on the front gutter (see photo) that is probably supposed to be there to accommodate the thick front cover. The page edges have darkened a bit over time. There is a small mark on the blank side of two pages. Otherwise this VERY RARE Book is in Very Good condition!
About the Book ~
This Book contains 15 full color lithographs showing buildings in Jeddah, Saud Arabia. At the bottom of each "picture" page is a short explanation of the picture (in English). Each one could be framed and displayed on a wall! There is also a full page message from the Mayor of Jeddah (written in English). That is the ONLY full page of text in the book.

It would be a very nice Gift!
