Leather. Condición: Good. 1st Edition. OVERSIZE. A very large hardcover book with leather spine and cloth boards. Good condition overall. The spine is chipped and crackly (appears to have been re-glued in spots). The boards are slightly warped and the corners are heavily scuffed. Faint, spotty stains on the front. The pages are mildly foxed, but the color on the maps remains bright and vivid, and no owner's notes. The binding is rather limp due to the age and sheer weight of the book, but despite some visible binding threads, the pages remain attached. Obviously worn, but still complete with 84 color maps, 7 of which are double-page spreads. Measures approx. 17.75" x 14.25".…
