Book published in 1940, covering the first year of the Second World War.  Illustrated with black and white photographs.  Large format hardback book.

10" x 7" approx.  320 pages.  990g.

Condition:  Vintage book, published during the Second World War, when wartime shortages affected the quality of printed books.  Pages are in good condition, with some small marks and creases.  Hard covers are in reasonable condition, scuffed at the corners.  Lettering on the spine has rubbed badly.  The "hinges" at the front at back have partially split, exposing the netting of the binding, as shown.
