Large format book beautifully laid out. No jacket; we believe none was issued. Other copies we have seen have a gilt medallion on the front cover; this copy does not. Book in Acceptable condition. Book shows signs of water damage throughout; however, for whatever reason, the book remains in acceptable condition and indeed the effect almost appears intentional, with watermarks encircling the pages in an acceptable pattern.
