Some light wear and soiling to binding, the half-title and ads not present in this copy, which has some minimal foxing but is overall quite fresh. Eric Quayle's copy, with his bookplate.
Important as an photographic desideratum, this work also includes some pioneering astronomical art, in the form of photographs of sculpted models of lunar features. Truthful Lens 125.
