8vo; x, 831 pages; Former owner's name on front wrapper "E. Graves", otherwise clean and secure in original printed wrappers which are worn at edges. text black "fanned." OCLC 503983623 locations cited in WorldCat. Illustrated with dozens of plates, graphs, maps and tables of which 48 are fold-out. All present and in very good condition.
