247 pages, indexed and illustrated. Overseas customers please note that unpacked the book weighs nearly a kilo. It will therefore attract additional postage. A couple of pages were bookmarked with non-stick coloured tape markers, which have left a very light stain. Overall a clean, unmarked and solid copy.
