Approximately 6 inches by 8-1/8 inches. 100 pages plus 4 color plates of ribbons. Interestingly, the book was published before the creation of the Knight’s Cross with Oak Leaves, and this award is covered with a separate supplemental slip that was to be tucked into the book at the appropriate point. The interior cover has a German personal library stamp that was blacked out, together with an inked notation. The personal library stamp, without blackening, is present on the title page. The covers show spots and age toning, but overall the book is in excellent lightly used condition.
