Including thirty-five in-text illustrations.

Condition

In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, excellent. Original unclipped dust wrapper is smart, with some just edgewear and marks to the wraps. A very small amount of loss at the head of the front of the wrap and the tail of the back strip. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean.
