Paperback. 4to, ca. 8.5" x 12", pp. ca. 150 pages are oddly numbered with ca.25 unnumbered then ca. 120 numbered, but containg more unnumbered pages as well. Text appears to be complete. These text pages are placed on one stiff paper portfolio while color plates are loose in a second portfolio. All the plates are present except for number 99. The plates are a little confusing because some have images on both sides while some have multiple images on one plate. After review is seems number 99 is not obviously present. Portfolios are of cream color stiff paper with very little wear but moderate soiling, covers good. Contents are near fine,. no owner names or bookplates noted. Remarkable collection of book binding information. Very good copy. Text in Deutsch Shipping outside the USA may cost about that of an average book. Very good. Item #9886
