A good, thick, and heavy hardback book, bound in green cloth, with gilt titles on the spine. Sixth edition, reprinted in 1954. This wonderful book is in good condition, normal wear, marks and tear apply consistent with use and age. The name Saunders is in pen and ink on the first blank page. 1581 pages, all intact and all pages, text and illustrations are in good, clean, readable order. Please note postage may increase from listed price depending on final destination, (more for overseas buyers) as its such a heavy book. A list of all the contributors are listed inside in pages V to VIII. A preface to the sixth edition by Waldo E. Nelson is also inside. A wonderful thick book that deserves to be preserved for future generations.
