Being a 1972 edition there will be flaws not perfect. I purchased two of the same book and the print paper quality was a little different in both. The best was kept intact and the little lesser was taken apart - easy to do - to use the prints in the classroom when studying Native Americans. Excellent resource and images really pop when displayed on a vertical plane. What you would want to know is the size - the 11 X 15 is far more desireable prints than the 1992 edition smaller format. Also who printed - the ones that I purchased were Promotory Press not a first edition but copy from the first edition and price reflected this.

I already had this book but needed another one to cut up and frame. Wasn't I plesantly suprised when this book was better than the one I had! The photos were more crisp, details more evident, and over all larger!

So I cut apart the 'other' on and framed the whole book, able to take the back of the frame off and put a new photo to the front at any time. This is a must have book for those who want a view of early native live. Not all photos are staged.
