This is an almost perfect reproduction, glad to see it is available as a premium color product and that looks quite nice with the ink having a noticable sheen and improved quality to it compared to the inkjet based standard color process, though all material is monochrome so the improved color palette isn't really noticed it.
The scan is so close to perfect it's painful, a couple of pages are crooked and have a black crooked overscan line at the top of the page from the source material being scanned at a slight angle. It's really sad this wasn't cropped or erased and the pages weren't manually checked for straightness. The maps are clean and sharp but have yellowing that would have taken seconds to correct. Everything else about this is super solid, the text is crystal clear and sharp with good black levels, it's just literally minutes of work in the preparation phase short of being perfect.
