About this Item

Larger hardcover in jacket, first printing, 144 pages, appendices, numerous color photographs and illustrations. Book is very solid and bright with light reading wear, slight slant of spine. The jacket is also very bright with some mild fading at bottom front edge; closed tear to jacket at rear top; some nicking to corners, along edges. Light soiling at rear jacket. Jacket is very bright in protective mylar sleeve. I browsed through most of book and did not find any markings, however due to the various illustrations, photographs, and line drawings in places it is difficult to tell if there are some stray ones. Very good overall. gc2.
