190 pages. Published by Watson-Guptill Publications in 1983 [1st Edition]. ISBN 0******0166-0. [Approx 28.5 x 22 x 1.9cms & 1030g]
This well illustrated hardback version is in good condition with pages tightly bound and generally clean. At the end of one chapter a bit of ink has been dropped on a page and soaked through to the other side, and the top and bottom edges of the pages have a very light wave to them [visible from ends but barely noticeable when open]. It is an ex-Libary book so has the usual stickers to the top of the front and spine, and the first [blank] page, and the usual stamps to the the first [blank page], the bottom of the title page, and the edge of the closed pages. The exterior has been covered in clear plastic which is worn a little at some corners and the top and bottom of the spine where there are little tears to the dust cover as per photos 1 & 2. The tape holding the plastic has yellowed inside the covers and left various marks on the [blank] pages opposite, and there's a little note at the top of the last [blank] page. That all sounds like a lot, but apart from the drip on one leaf the remainder of the cotents pages are great.
Also have 'The Complete Guide to Airbrushing Techniques and Materials' by Judy Martin listed separately at present.
Please note:-
