No Jacket. vi, (LACKS pp. vii-xx, (1), which includes part of the introduction, the table of contents, and the list of plates), 517pp. This missing text can be viewed online at the Hathi trust website. Translation and with an introductory essay by Henry Van Brunt. Illustrated with plates and woodcuts. This volume contains all called for (18) fold-outs and 110 figures (black and white line drawings). Concerning the fold-outs, one admits to several short, closed tears at (blank) extremities, and a couple of others that admit to a mild wrinkling appearance, also at (blank) extremities. Bound in original green cloth, with gilt lettering and decorations to spine and gilt decoration to front cover. There is also a blind decoration to back cover. Volume admits to several small bumps to extremities, which are also quite worn. Some general rubbing to remainder of cloth, which is a little heavier on parts of joints and a few other places at exterior. Minor spotting and light soiling to exterior, which generally maintains much of its original charm. A little heavier but not terribly offensive soiling to a small number of pages (~10), and to edges of pages. Some tanning to paper, though this isn't offensive, either. Binding is generally firm, though starting a bit, with some separation to front hinge where missing text was, and with several minor tears to paper over back hinge. Text clean. Overall, this remains a good, sound, clean, user friendly copy.
