He recognized and purchased the item about 40 years ago, paying the princely sum of 25 cents, and it has been tucked away ever since. We will post a few photos to better show the condition of the book. The volume is complete with all pages and all plates. The cover is generally bright, with some spine fading and light moisture damage on the upper section, as seen. The front board is starting to split at the spine, but is still very solidly attached. Inside is very clean with minimal foxing. Original owner name upper right is the only marking. On page 13 is the characteristic typo of the first edition. The back hinge is starting, but is still solidly attached. This should be an easy repair for a professional. We have priced the volume at a good bit less than comparable ones, and think that this one can be much improved with a very little restoration. Domestic shipping FREE.
