Hardcover.  Cracked hinges on front and back cover.  Cover and spine intact.  Pages intact with no writing.  Pages are yellow but not brittle.  One page has a stain as seen in the picture.  This does not interfere with the legibility of the print. Many diagrams including buoys.  97 pages.  Book measures 7 1/4" x 5".  Book is intact but should be handled gently because of the cracked hinges and age.  A great book to add to a collection.  Please examine pictures closely for best description and email me with questions.  Thanks for looking.
