Knjiga je u celosti (listovi, povez, korice) odlično očuvana: listovi su potpuno čisti i ravni, nigde nema podvlačenja, obeležavanja, dopisivanja, `magarećih ušiju` i sl., i čvrsto su povezani međusobno i sa koricama; veoma lepo je opremljena, štampana na sjajnom papiru i bogato ilustrovana kvalitetnim fotografijama u boji (koje izgledaju neuporedivo bolje nego što je ovde prikazano).
