This is copy number 107 of an edition limited to 750 copies, but is bound in the style of the de luxe edition. The first 50 numbered copies were bound in the same style as this copy. Ordinary copies were bound with skirvatex. It is sold with a letter from the publisher explaining that a private individual must have commissioned the de luxe leather binding. Brown leather spine and corners with a green title panel on the spine with gilt titles and the publisher's device on the upper board. This is a facsimile of the 5th and best edition of this title. xvi prelims, 26 illustrations and a double page map. CONDITION DETAILS: The free front end paper is browned. There are tape residue marks on the end papers because a previous owner covered the book with a plastic cover. Otherwise an attractive copy with hardly any wear to the spine.
