The spine of the book "The Transuranium Elements," edited by Seaborg, Katz, and Manning. It is a heavy cloth binding, the sort common to mid-century text and reference books. The cover is a dark, greenish gray with three maroon bands on the spine. The top band has the title "The Transuranium Elements" with two decorative six-point stars set beneath the text. The middle band reads "National Nuclear Energy Series," and the lower band states the publisher as "McGraw-Hill." Each band has a thin, gold strip at the top and bottom, and all the lettering on the spine is a golden color.
