Description
Two cloth-bound volumes in a matching slipcase; third edition, completely revised with the assistance of Reinhold Regensburger. Both volumes, original oatmeal cloth with gilt lettering and rules within red labels to the spine, pale green endpapers, pale yellow top edges. Quarto, 255 x 190 mm; pp. Volume 1, xxii, 474 and Volume 2, [6] 452 [2, blank]. Volume 2 is the 'illustration volume' and has glossy paper. Some copies of these volumes had dust jackets and a printed label on the spine of the slipcase; these copies have neither, but the lack of a label on the slipcase suggests that this may have been intentional.
Condition
Both volumes and the slipcase are in Very Good condition.
