Seller's Description:
VG (Few marks and some wear to covers, interior is quite clean; illus. did not photocopy well. ) White & color illus. wraps, 326 pp., BW illus. A paperback reprint of this classic and difficult-to-find work from 1917. Alas, the illustrations either did not copy well enough to discern them, or they copied bad enough to the point of becoming invisible. So if you are aming to see the main illustrations in the book, this reprint won't help you much. The text is nice and clear.
