Description
First Edition, Folding Maps, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

Illustrated, with a folding plan and numerous in-text photographs.

This report discusses the various factors in the park's development including conservation of existing structures, purification of streams, the option of museums, galleries and much more.
