Hardcover edition first published in the United States by National Geographic Society, 2000. The jacket is whole, and covered in a plastic sleeve. The black boards with white titling are square and clean, but there is a crack to the spine covering, from the foot of the spine, half the length of the spine. There is a short tape repair to each of the front and rear pastedowns. Apart from a faded stamp to the external page edges, the pages are clean and unmarked.
