Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 'Third and Enlarged Edition.' If you're looking for a very solid and clean copy of this heavy book you might want to stop here. You can see the covers in the photos. There is no conspicuous staining or soiling. The gilt lettering on the spine is nicely bright. There is one smallish crease off the top edge of the spine. There is only light crinkling and speck-sized bits of rubbing at the spine ends. The cover edges are in very good shape. The cover corners have, at worst, the tiniest bit of rubbing. The page edges look very good. The book is square and the spine is straight. The binding, impressively is very solid from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The pages of the text all appear to be exceptionally clean. Scrolling through, I'm not discovering any conspicuous soiling. There is very little creasing. I'm not seeing any placeholder creases. A group of late pages have a tiny tip of the top corner crease. Another group of pages as a tiny nick at his outer edge, nothing much of anything, no tears. There are no markings in the book. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. There are a great many illustrations, photographs, drawings, charts, All are in excellent condition.
