This softcover, comb-bound book spans 39 pages and measures 6" x 9". While the book is in excellent condition, please note that due to its age (published in 1981) and storage conditions, the white cover may show slight wear, including minor smudges or dirt. A few copies have a small cut corner on the first page, which is blank. These second editions are complete and priced at half the rate of many other dealers.
