About This Item
london: Jacob Tonson, 1707. Leather. Good. Abraham Cowley's Works, 1707, Three Volume Set, The Tenth Edition.
Beautiful set that deserves a rebind. Originally rebound by J. Larkins in full leather. Volume three published in addition 4 years later (1711) and contains my favorite illustrations and text.
The pages and plates are extremely clean. No foxing. Almost seems as if the edges were protected with a non-gilt solution (by the rebinder). Either way, would be a stunning set in a fresh binding. There are some slightly 'darkened'/browned sections but again, no foxing whatsoever.
Still a great and beautiful piece of history either way. All the plates are in good shape including a fold out illustration which I simply can't get enough of.
Covers are all extremely weak or detached. Volume two has both attached but barely. Volume one completely detached, and Volume three has back cover hanging on by a thread.
The binding is still in very good shape.
Let me know if you have any questions or if you desire more photos. Thank you.

Hello Shoppers,
I'm a vintage book seller from the Northeast United States. I have always had a passion for books and history, so now I combine those interests in order to help people find cool books at great prices.
I select my inventory based on many factors such as rarity, historical significance, market popularity, condition, and look. Every book in my inventory has been put there personally by me for a reason.
I have cheap inventory, expensive inventory, and much in between. It is replenished on a (usually) daily basis.
I will combine shipping and give you additional discounts for quantity. Please message me when you are done shopping.
Most vintage booksellers price higher than me, but my approach is fast-moving inventory from consistently high-quality sources. I price items to sell. I am almost always open to offers on buy it now items. Send me a message with any questions, pricing or otherwise. Thank you.
