Green cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w illustrations within the text. xi and 203 pages including index plus four page publication adverts to rear. Top & tail of spine and corners lightly rubbed. Text block browned. Top of title page has been cut off and is missing but does not affect the title itself. Some light page browning. Rear endpapers a little grubby. Overall a decent copy.
