The old saying: (Cade Napoli epoi more) "See Naples and die," might now be cheerfully altered to: "See Monte and live."' Bright yellow covers, with the color faded and dull on the spine. Top edge stained red. Bumping to the corners and top and tail of the spine, with fraying to the tail. Color plates depicting the roulette wheel, the roulette table and a table of the voisins in red and black, as well as other diagrams and tables. Minor foxing throughout. [1-7] 8-262 (plates between [6] and [7] . 13.5 x 19.5 cm.
