Area handbook for North Vietnam

Washington, D.C.: G.P.O., June, 1967. First edition, the uncommon hard-cover version; 8vo, pp. xii, 494; 7 full-page maps, 7 tables; original unadorned black cloth (a bit soiled), terracotta cloth dust jacket lettered in black, reinforced on verso along the spine. "This volume is part of a second major revision of the Area Handbook for Vietnam. The Handbook, originally prepared in 1957 ... was substantially revised in 1962 ... Because Vietnam is, in effect, two different states, the present revision has been accomplished in two separate studies" (Preface).
