This volume measures 8.5 by 11 inches and has 160 pages. The photographic illustrations are all in black and white, giving it a real "vintage" look. For us today, it is vintage anyway!
There is notable wear to the covers (front and back) including minor paper peeling, corner creasing, etc. but it is otherwise in very good condition.
NOT ex-library; NO markings whatsoever.
A wonderful and comprehensive reference on the period from 1958-1964 from this MAJOR 1984 Whitney Museum exhibition.
