Essentially a low quality bound photocopy of a library book

I would not recomend I purchased this book for the period illustrations but many of them are dark blurry inidentifiable and generally low quality reproductions. This edition of the book is a low quality photocopy of a library book that was bound Higher resolution copies of the book and illustrations are available for free on line I would not recommend this version of the book until the quality issues are resolved.
