Likely early printing - no publishing date nor edition/printing statement provided (general presentation and typeset certainly seem contemporary to 1940s). 498 pages. Hardcover: H 23.75cm x L 16cm. No dust jacket. Green cloth with light staining and soiling; patches of white paper adhered to rear board; dulling to front board's gilt stamping but lettering still easily legible. Foxing/toning most prevalent upon several initial and rear leaves; occasional toning to interior leaves with strongest occurrences at gutter margins. Binding is firm. A very good- copy. Laid-in between pages 308-309 is folded mimeographed sheet with single-sided text and illustration for "Gurtler Atomic Stage Pile" trick. Although unstated as such, this is Volume I of what became a three volume series; the successive volumes were issued in 1968 and 1980.
