John:

I haven't read it in at least 20 years. It's been almost that long since I've seen my copy. (That's the problem with collecting way too many books.)

Mine is the first English translation sent to me to review early in my career, and its illustrations are as memorable as the text. I suppose it would be valuable if it were in pristine condition, but I was so impressed with it that I underlined and highlighted entire paragraphs throughout the book.
