Maroon cloth bound gold gilt front cover has embossed depiction of a pot hanging over a campfire, a rifle, oar, and pike hanging from tree limbs above. Spine has gold gilt embossed book title, and rear cover is embossed without gold gilt. The books front cover is worn from age and use and shows fair condition.
