1976 Van Nostrand Reinhold hardcover/jacket with moderate wear, some faint wave to interior pages. This is an oversize book approx. 11"x15" with many illustrations, both instructional & historical. Several small stamps have been marked over, so it's possible at some point this was a library book but it doesn't have any more signs than that. It's a great reading or reference copy of a hard-to-find book.
