With a profusion of illustrations, photographs and plans, some folding. Royal 8vo, publisher’s original bright royal blue cloth lettered in gilt on the spine and decorated in blind on the upper cover, with beautifully decorated cartographic end-papers, t.e.g. xvi, 285 including the appendix and index pp. A good reading copy, the text is fresh and bright, the binding still handsome though with some minor staining and wear, front hinge is started and lacking the frontispiece.
