A clean and intact copy of the original edition of this title. It was withdrawn from a library many years ago. This book is loaded with illustrations, graphs and charts, many of them extended pull-outs. Most are in excellent shape, although I note two that are intact but detached, and some have rough edges. The binding is sound but worn in appearance. A clear archival Mylar cover now protects it. This enormous book weighs 5 pounds 10 ounces. There are 524 pages of text, which include 361 illustrations, followed by a large number of pull-outs. At the back is an extensive index. There is a water stain affecting the index at the inside top corner, but not the pull-outs or the text. Library markings are not extensive, but do include a lacy embossed imprint of the library's name on the pull-outs, probably to deter theft. The effect is not obtrusive. Surcharge on International shipping, due to size and weight.; Ex-library; Oversize.

Terms of sale
In addition to payment through Abebooks (the preferred method), payment can be
made via Paypal or personal check or money order for US transactions only. All international sales must be conducted through Abebooks. Paypal does not adjust the exchange rate.
In January 2016 the US postal service changed international shipping rates. Books weighing 2 lbs. or less (packed for shipping) ship at a reasonable rate. The rate for books over this weight has gone up dramatically. For this reason, the bookseller may contact you for extra funds for shipping. This will occur if the book is inexpensive but overweight. You have the opportunity to decline, in which case the sale will be cancelled and your credit card will not be processed.
Checks should be made payable to Lucy Horton. All books are selected and packed with care.
Shipping terms
Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on books
weighing 2 lbs.(.09 kg). If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may
contact
you to let you know extra shipping is required.
