Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 120 pp. Tightly bound. Light ding to tip of top corner back board. Text is free of markings. No ownership markings. Good to very good, price clipped dust jacket. The primary reason for the lower "good" rating for the jacket is because there is one 1" x 1.5" piece missing of the front jacket near the head of the spine. With 120 pages of text followed by 26 b&w plates. This copy is smyth sewn. Smyth sewing is a method of bookbinding where groups of folded pages (referred to as signatures) are stitched together using binder thread. Each folded signature is sewn together individually with multiple stitches and then joined with other signatures to create the complete book block. This is the traditional and best method of bookbinding.
