Just glossy poster pictures within and a peripheral treatment of operations.

Then he should have waited, and written a book twice the size!!!!

When I read the blurb, due to the many photos/drawings etc (500+) it became a sort of pictorial to me.
Since I don't really know what you mean with "poster pictures" are you saying that even the photos
are "useless", ie published before - bad quality - very uninteresting?

Also the so called colour photos, are they all from preserved specimens or contemporary?
