About this Item

ATTRACTIVE HALF LEATHER BINDING ( THE LEATHER IS ACTUALLY DARKER THAN IT APPEARS ON THE PHOTOGRAPH), WITH MARBLED BOARDS. 558 PAGES PLUS 28 PAGES OF PUBLISHERS'S BOOK LISTS. TOP AND EDGES OF THE TOP ARE BROWNED/DUST STAINED. LIGHT FOXING THROUGHOUT, HEAVIER IN THE INDEX. LAST PAGE OF THE BOOK LISTS IS VERY BROWNED. ERRATA SLIP TIPPED IN AT FRONT. THERE IS SOME LIQUID STAINING ON TOP OF EDGE ON THE HALF TITLE PAGE THROUGH TO THE PREFACE PAGE AND THEN IT DISAPPEARS ( BROWN STAIN- COFFEE??) THERE IS ASLO A BLUISH LIQUID STAIN ON THE BOTTOM EDGE/CORNER OF PAGES FROM THE HALF TITLE PAGE TO THE LIST OF PLATES. THEREAFTER A SMALL DAMP STAIN IS VISBLE, BUT NO LONGER BLUE, UP TO ABOUT PAGE 6.TIPPED IN AT THE FRONT IS A LETTER FROM P.O ACKLEY, GUNMAKER OF SALT LAKE CITY DATED 1963. THI TECHNICAL DETAIL IS WAY OVER MY HEAD, BUT SEEMS TO BE ABOUT THE PRESSURE THAT TYPES OF RIFLING AND EXCSSIVE RPM MIGHT HAVE ON CERTAIN TYPES OF BULLET.
