Description

Survey book 6A is covered with black buckram with black leather corner accents and a black spine. A nearly invisible letter or number is written in red on the front cover--6A or GA, but on cover p. 2 it clearly says "6A." At the bottom of the spine are gold letters "G81-150 REC." Both the front and back covers have a very narrow gold leaf motif from top to bottom along the joint between the spine and the buckram cover. The corners have the same motif. The text in this book is very difficult to read.
