About This Item
NY: Carleton, 1866. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Good+/No Jacket. I have no reference to show this as first, but as it follows "Tennessee" and precedes the later writing in being publicly available it seems correct. No additional printings are listed, both title page and copyright page show dates of 1866. 224 pages, text complete. Hard cover boards are a textured, blind stamped green with aged gilt lettering of spine. The boards have notable splotching (especially the back) ripple and edge bump, but relatively decent, external hinging appears stout. The first end sheet, pale blue, has a Spencerian penciling of prior owners name. 3 pages Title page, page prior, TOC have small corrected lower dog ear. The blue end sheets and paste downs are rather foxed as are adjacent sheets, balance of text very mildly so with one fore-edge stain that has affected the margins of several pages. Internal hinging intact if far from tight. Since receiving the item it has been stored in acid free protective sleeve. Foto will follow shortly.
