This is a reprint of the original. It is a complete volumn and I would rate it 5 stars except.....

When the book was reprinted the type size is the equivilent of a 8 or 10 point type at best. Even though the book is full size and the pages are full size the printed area only covers about 1/4 to 1/3 of the page. The illustrations are reduced to a single page unlike the original and are very faint.

If you don't have 20/20 eyesight of an eighteen year old this book will be very hard to read.

For the reasoning of readability I rate it so low. I unfortunately will be returning my copy.
