Handsome dark green cloth with a bird in gilt on the front and bright gilt title on the unfaded spine. Rebacked. This book is notorious for falling apart, not constructed well in India. This copy has been resewn and is stronger than the original. The fourth edition was revised and enlarged, thus becoming preferred. Very clean and tight inside and out, with no stains or browning, no prior owner marks. Gift quality.
