Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. A superb fine half leather binding with hand marbled boards. This has the coat of arms of the Library of the Royal Artillery, and as such can reasonably be assumed to have been bound for that august organisation. The leather has pleasantly patinated over the years, and the fold out map has been hand coloured. There is a torn fold, which is hardly surprising, and this is obvious in the photograph. Here is a piece of European history, beautifully typeset, with relevant charts. The top text block edge is dirty gilt, and the remaining edges are marbled. Fine bindings are not just decorative; they ensure the survival of the book, and enhance any shelf they are placed upon.
