This paperback edition is the fifth edition of 1977, with the copyright page listing reprints up to 1991. The cover features a striped optical design after Bridget Riley's Cataract 3, with the title and author on applied blue panels.

The spine shows the title and author in white on a blue background, matching the cover design. The back cover carries a summary of the book's content along with biographical notes on the author, the ISBN and barcode.

Externally the covers show some wear consistent with handling, including light edge and corner rubbing. The front cover has a small crease visible near the lower right corner. The paper appears clean in the sample page shown, with black and white illustrations and text in clear, legible print.
