*************************************************

Elephant Folio.  The binding measures 18 1/2 inches tall by 15 inches wide.  Hardcover bound in original black half leather with green cloth-covered boards.  The binding is worn and bumped, and the leather on the spine is beginning to dry and crack.  A sound copy with a sturdy text block.  All edges marbled.  The text is toned, and there is damping on the bottom corner as well as (at times) on the fore and top edges.  Most of the damping remains in the margins, although it is certainly heavier at the front and at the rear of the book and crosses over into the images and maps at the very front and back.  Collates complete with all maps.
