Important Added Info: Note that this is the first edition of this book, because we did research which reveals that the first edition had 16 color plates (which this does), along with 100 black and white images. We previously sold a later edition which only had 8 color plates. That later edition had a dust jacket, and this one does not, but we don't know if this one was created with a dust jacket. If anyone knows more about this book, please e-mail us and we will post it here. We have pictured the front cover, the title page, and one or more interior 2-page spreads. Note that on all hardcover books, the buyer must pay the actual cost of shipping (but if you solely buy books, or if you want the books shipped separately, they can be shipped in the U.S. only via "Media Mail", which is much less expensive than Priority Mail; unfortunately, there is no similar service outside the U.S. to Media Mail). So bear the above in mind before placing a bid on this book. Condition: good. There is scuffing on the covers and some small dot water stains scattered around the edges of some of the interior pages. There is a book plate on the second inside blank page, which shows that the book was given as a "good sportsmanship award" at the Hyrncastre Preparatory School to "the boy who best played the game" in 1949!
