Soft cover. Condizione: Good. 1st Edition. Top corner of p. [1] has stamp indicating that this volume was not accessioned by a Harvard University library; although it is not explicitly stated, this volume was apparently formerly owned by physical anthropologist Carleton S. Coon, as evidenced by his pencilled annotation, "How Eskimos Carve Ivory," on p. [1]; back cover has a blue fountain-pen annotation in some Arabic or other Middle Eastern language, seemingly complicating the provenance; outer edges and p. [1] have some foxing; body of text clean. 54 p., with 3 illustrations.
