About This Item
Melbourne: Melbourne University Press, in association with the University of Papua and New Guinea, 1972. Hardcover. xv, 568, 589 to 1231, 83 (with "lift-out" folded color map). Matched hardbound set, casebound in 10x7 inch naugahyde boards gilt. Encyclopaedia volumes are illustrated with scattered b&w vignettes, the index features another map, a new flag design in vivid color, and a couple facsimiles. Mildest flaws: a few dots of foxing to blanks, index binding yawns slightly because of fat folded map, a short errata notice is enclosed, the set is otherwise perfectly sound, clean and unmarked, heavy and satisfyingly thick (totaling 5.5 inches).
