Seller's Description:
Very Good+ in Very Good-dust jacket. Crisp, clean pages with no owners' marks; the full cloth hard cover has only mild corner wear, otherwise excellent. The dust jacket has a short, closed tear at the top front, some age-toning and scattered smudges on the rear, and modest edge chipping around corners and spine ends; it is now protected in a clear sleeve. 665pp., incl. 60pp. bibliography (! ). No illustrations, but exceptional descriptions. Significantly differs from the first edition (1944) with much information updated to reflect "enormous changes in the knowledge and economics of New Mexico's minerals since World War II."
