Does anyone have a copy of Henri Michel's 1947 book "Traite de L'Astrolabe?"
I'm looking for a description of the style and construction of the book itself, NOT the contents. The reason is that I've found a copy (the book is relatively rare) but it looks more like a galley proof than a final product and I want to figure out if the asking price is appropriate. The copy that I found is printed on relatively poor quality paper, a thin cardboard cover, has uncut top and side margins and a fairly poor binding...generally quite flimsy. I'm not a rare book collector so this is probably not described in terms used in the trade. thanks, Tom
