Good to VG condition. C. 1910 by author, assume First Edition- no further notations on copyright page. Hardcover/ no DJ, 221 pages, rough- cut side & bottom edge to text block, 8 x 5 1/2". Photo frontis (w/ tissue protector intact) & 15 plates in text (verified)- incl. line drawings & b/w photos- all firmly & completely attached. I went through this book twice & could find no evidence of any more illus. being present or removed. Red cloth binding tight & square- shows light rubbing, bit of soil.
