The glossy glazed pictorial boards remain exceptionally bright and clean, completely free from significant rubbing, edge-wear, or shelf-wear, and feature remarkably sharp, unbumped corners. The binding is exceedingly tight and square, suggesting the volume has seen very little, if any, reading use. Internally, the text block is pristine; the pages are crisp, bright white, and entirely free from foxing, moisture damage, or tears. An excellent, highly presentable copy of this regimental history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/strong\u003e: First Edition.

The publication was supported by the patron cantons of Bern, Luzern, Solothurn, Basel-Landschaft, and Aargau.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiven its highly specific regional and military focus, this title was produced in a relatively limited print run for distribution strictly among soldiers and \"interested circles.\" Consequently, it is a rather scarce volume on the open international market, seldom seen outside of specialized Swiss domestic collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished to mark the 50th anniversary of the Swiss Army's 8th Field Division, this profusely illustrated volume offers an authoritative and deeply visual history of the division from its reformation in 1938 to 1988.
