This one is a fantastic resource--so much information in one place. PLUS, one thing I have discovered is that it is good to have multiple sources when doing the research--even earlier volumes sometimes have info you don't find later.
CONDITION: Excellent. Looks nice. No writing. Has a slight bend from being on the shelf. Very minor edge wear on cover. A few black marks near spine. Some slight age-related discoloration. Good binding. All in all, a clean, nice copy.
