This is the 1969 2nd edition from Allyn and Bacon Press. This book is great for those that aspire to learn about engraving, properly notating parts, and getting to know instrumental idiosyncrasies. It also has a good selection of notational methods for each instrument of the orchestra, including extended techniques. The binding is good. No dust cover. Slight shelf wear on the cover. Slightly browning pages. No annotations found anywhere in the book
