Hardcover with dust jacket, published by Houghton Mifflin. This is a 'Third Edition' copy, originally published in 1947. No further date is listed on the copyright page, but considering that this copy has an ISBN number, which started in the mid 1960's but no UPC code, which started being used on books in the early 1980's, and that the 'Fourth Edition' was published in 1980, this copy is most likely from the late 70's. 4-7/8" X 7-1/2", includes a large section of color art. Dust jacket is intact and is not price clipped. Jacket has been protected with a clear, removable cover. jacket has some edge wear to the head and heel of the spine, and a small triangular crease at the top edge.
