The book is sized approx. 21 x 14 cms (8" x 5.5") and has 560 pages, including the index. There is a coloured frontispiece, 64 pages of plates and numerous illustrations within the text. Its condition, in my opinion, is good for its age. The covers and spine are sound and the binding still secure, though beginning to crack at the front.
