1974 vintage hardcover. Former library book with associated flaws. See pictures. The mylar covered dustjacket was taped on with a sticky tape that stuck the first interior pages down, although I was able to unstick them. There is a cut interior blank page at the beginning of book. The book is somewhat worn with some faint, water stains. The pros of this book is a lovely, clean, picture cover underneath the mylar cover. This is a completely readable copy and the faint water stains are just that...faint. See pictures.
