[No ISBN].
Binding: hardback, perfect bound.
Size: 160×238×57mm.
Page count: xii,680pp inc. 48 monochrome maps & plans.
Main language: English.
Overall condition fair to good: the dustjacket on this copy is rather scuffed, with its edges and corners ruffled, noticeable but not too severe; the book itself has some mild dinks on the edges and corners of the boards and spine; printed on low-grade paper, so the pages are yellowed with age, and have some foxing on the edges; otherwise looks ok internally, text appears to be free of marking.
