The CATALOGUE is softback, with laminated covers made of good cardboard with a pleasant gloss. The binding is very good, resistant, the pages would not fall apart as sometimes may happen in some "modern" books, being inserted in a 0.5 cm binding. It will be delivered in a protective cardboard box or an air-bubble package.  The catalogue is made at the top of what the usual printing technology may offer.

   Please note that the catalogue weighs almost 2 kilos (i.e. 4 pounds) and is printed on good quality paper (min. 80 grams/ sq.m.) in full colours that would not let the printing on one side be visible on the other side. The lot also comprises book signs for each volume and the above illustrated map which is the reprint of an original map issued in 1894 by the Kuk Army, where I have added a second summarizing map plus a table detailing on the location of each Army Corps and Regiments recruiting areas throughout the empire. This will help a collector to identify his territorial interest area or gain an educated image on the Army units.
