Appleton & Co., this is a small, hardcover book with no dustjacket, in surprisingly good condition for its age. The front cover is beginning to loosen, and the pages are yellowing at their edges, but the gold-embossed green cloth cover shows only a little wear at its corners and spine, and there's not a mark or a missing page in all of its 372 pages.
