This scarce edition has flaws but on the whole is a nice, solid book. The covers are rippled and somewhat shelf worn. There is fairly light corner bumping and edge fraying. The text block has lightly toned. There was some kind of moisture intrusion on the outside edge. This is evidenced in all of the interior pictures but is not a functional problem. Dozens of advert pages were removed some time ago, which is odd. However the reference section is ordered and complete. There are no marks or notations. It is not ex library. Both interior hinges have been almost invisibly reinforced with Japan paper (see pix).   #599.  Click on "Warship Observer" above for 100+ listings of JFS.
