Prepared by the Editorial Staff of Front Cover:

This is a neat old book about photography equipment. The book was published in 1941 by Popular Science Publishing Company, Inc., New York. The book measures 7 ¼ inches by 10 ¼ inches and contains 336 pages. The green cloth cover has been covered over with a clear contact paper. This has “bubbled” up in places and could perhaps be carefully removed. The cover of the book shows signs of wear to the edges, corners (worn to the boards) and to the top and bottom of the spine. The spine is tight and the hinges are strong. The hinges have been repaired with tape. The title page has tape markings to the facing page also. The book had formerly belonged to The Babcock & Wilcox Co., Research & Development. The book contains several “rubber stamp” markings to that effect. The pages are printed on good quality paper and show no signs of rips. Exceptions noted, the overall condition of this book is good.
