24mo. (12)pp. Colored illustrations throughout sport impressive quality of line and composition, and are especially commendable for their registration on the woven textile pages. Bound in pink printed wrappers of the same material. Some of the upper cover has peel, revealing scrap paper between the layers to add structure - the result is a revealing, if unintentional, bit of evidence of fabric-book binding practices. Overall soiling, staining along upper margins, else very good. Unrecorded.
