About This Item
London: Henry Sotheran Limited, 1980. Edition De Luxe. Hardcover. Very Good. Dark green half morocco hardback binding with gilt decorated spine. Firm and square, strong joints. Contents clean and tight. No pen-marks. Not from a library so no such stamps or labels. Just a small trace of a tiny former owner bookplate at the pastedown. Size: 35cm x 25cm x 7cm. Collation: pp. (2), xiii, 624; complete with 19 tipped-in fine colour plates by G. Lodge, R. Thorburn, and D. M. Reid-Henry, and 9 tipped-in black-and-white photographic plates, also 53 text-figures and 36 maps (1 of which is tinted and folding). Note: this is the De Luxe Limited Edition, of which just 295 copies were printed. This is number 28. As such, a very presentable book, handsomely bound and showing well.
