First Edition of Rackham's beloved illustrations in both color plates and black and white. Rust-colored clothbound book with owl design that feels very sturdy. The binding has great integrity. It has a dust jacket, which is a rarity, though it is rather tattered. Many years ago someone made the miguided effort to tape the jacket together, and the tape has become brittle and yellowedl. There is also a piece of scotch tape on the top of the spine on the dust jacket.
