Hardcover. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. Complete. A slightly weary copy of this bound edition of the 12 issues of 'Knowledge' magazine - principally known for its science, astronomy, natural science contributions. Half leather. Marbled boards (scuffed, worn, passive). The leathered corners and spine have wear from handling and shelving and storage. All are secure and sure. The book has, at some stage, been subjected to damp storage. Consequently the pages are waved and dimpled like a flapper's hairstyle. There is foxing, mottling, some occasional tanning.

Please note that due to the weight of the book, should the book need be posted to outside of South Africa, extra postal charges may be required. fk.
