Latimer was the collection librarian, and Lawrence Reddick was the Curator; Imperfect: brittle, loose pages; lacks an original cover; bound in avocado green cloth over boards library binding, and gilt spine; currently housed in a preservation 4-flap portfolio. Copy 2 in Sc Rare -252 C is probably a post-Lawrence Reddick's addition; also imperfect: brittle, loose pages; housed in a grey clothbound enclosure with a black leather spine label pasted on the spine.
