About This Item
London: N.A.G. Press, 1950. First edition (hardback). 8vo (22cm by 14cm), xxxii, 252pp. Numerous text figures by E A Ayres. Original blue cloth, but lacks the dustwrapper.

Only a good minus copy overall, but the contents are in sound condition, and this is suitable as a reading, working or reference copy.
