Published by Aurel Bongers of Recklinghausen, printed in West Germany, and distributed in the United States by Taplinger Publishing Company, 1964. Good condition. Ex-library, with the usual internal markings including a blind-embossed institutional stamp and a pencilled call number, and there is a small square of damage to the front illustration.
