Annuals and serials can be confusing to look up on WorldCat, but if I’m not mistaken, this is only listed in an electronic version put out by the Gale Group. I believe that they may have digitized a copy owned by the British Library. Great for access, but not quite the same. This beautiful material object calls out to be handled.
