About this Item

This book is in Russian. I can't read a word of it. The title appears to translate into Russian Lighting Fixtures. I'm providing a photograph of the title page. When I first bought the book I tried to find another copy for sale on the Internet. I wrote on a little piece of paper that there was no other. That appears to still be the case, but it's hard to be certain of that. There is a section of text that runs from page 3 to page 34. Then there is a long section of numbered illustrations or plates, 261 in total. That is followed by another section of text and another section that identifies all 261 plates. Then there is a Contents page, also some print on the verso, and what looks like an Errata sheet (although it might be something else) attached to the blank rear end paper. There are 273 numbered pages prior to the Contents page. There is a blank front end paper, then what looks like a half-title page. The title page, as you can see, has a stamped 'Printed in USSR'. There are no other stamps or markings to be found anywhere in the book. There are no attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. The pages are very clean. I saw only a few spots over the entirety of them. I flattened out three corners that had been folded. There are small creases there now, far from the print or plates. Some of the pages before and after have a light impression of a crease as a result. All of the plates, but one, are in black & white. There are also a number of drawings. You can see the covers in the photos. They have some not terrible soiling. There are several small areas of rub-through at the cover edges. There is rub-through at all four corners. The spine is in nice condition, one small tear at its bottom edge. The book is solidly bound from cover to cover. I didn't see any instances of a space or crack between any the facing pages. The junctures between the inside covers and end papers are very solid. The covers are nicely tight. The book has a red ribbon. Seller Inventory # 005187
