A "Library of Congress Card Number: 74-14319" is also present. The page itself is made of off-white or cream-colored paper with a slightly textured surface. The text is printed in black ink, primarily in a sans-serif font for the main informational blocks, with some headings in serif. The binding appears to be a standard glued or stitched binding, with the right edge showing the inner margin and the start of body text on the adjacent page.

The paper shows slight natural aging appropriate for a book from the mid-1970s, contributing to a slight yellowing or deepening of the original cream tone. There are no notable wear patterns or marks by previous owners.
