Can I gift the Kindle version?

Yes. On the Kindle book's Amazon page, choose “Buy for others” and Amazon emails it to the person on the date you pick.

How big is it?

It is a 6 × 9 inch paperback with 180 pages: 500 numbered entries, 43 original illustrations, an A–Z index and a few fill-in pages for their own originals.

Yes. Every page is printed in full color, illustrations included.
