The book pages and 49 different black-and-white plates throughout the first edition 254-page 5 3/4 by 8 1/2 inch book are in clean lightly-used condition. Dust jacket outside is in outstanding condition with just a few nicks and small tears along the top and bottom edges. Dust jacket inside front has some discoloration along the inside edges.
