The book has pale blue boards with gilt and black lettering to the spine and pink to the top page-ends.The colourful illustrated dust-jacket (Enrico Arno) is complete and un-clipped, showing the purchase price of $3.50. The only flaw is a small slight water-stain at the top of the rear of the dust-wrapper.
