Hardback. Large format: 144pp. 285 by 245mm (11¼ by 9¾ inches). Large selection of colour plates and other illustrations throughout. Grey boards with white titles to spine are clean but with a couple of dent and dings and one small puncture mark to spine edge. Dust wrapper has some slight scuff marks visible in some light and one deeper scratch (about the dents on the front board). Overall impression is better than details suggest.
