Printed in the USA.

Main language: English.
Overall condition poor to fair: ex‑lib. Westminster Libraries; some wear to the dustjacket, though this has been enclosed in protective plastic to prevent further deterioration; the book itself is in generally good order, but the last two text pages (pp. 127/8) have a triangular chunk missing from their outside edge — some of the text is missing though it is possible to infer what it might have to say; apart from the usual library marks, the text appears to be free of marking.
