Copyright 1947; revised/condensed 1977. Print Run 1956. #24 in the series. Original text and artwork. VG tweed book in VG- wraparound dust jacket, attractive in mylar protective cover. This is either a 1956B-15 or a 1956C-16 by Farah code. "Digger" endpapers. Hinges are very good. Except for a few ink blotches on the text of page 1, and some underlining of titles on the dust jacket front end flap, there are no marks or writings in this book. Extremely light (buttercream color) foxing of sound pages - no rips, tears, or fragility on handling. Very nice-looking book despite dust jacket chipping, especially at bottom front and top spine, and there's a large square missing on the dust jacket rear. Mylar protective covering.
