About This Item
The New Sydenham Society, London, 1864. Hardcover. Acceptable. Hardcover. Fragile. This book has had a "protective" brown paper book jacket, placed upon it in 1940 by the former owner, a founder of the Pember-Nuzum Clinic in Janesville, WIS. This book cover is extremely well worn, stained, ripped and age-toned. We are not going to remove it. Old cellophane tape has left dark residual on the end papers. We can only judge the condition of the boards based upon what we can see underneath, and original boards are very, very worn at the spine ends and corner tips, which are quite dented. We can assume that the boards themselves are very worn. Splits in hinges. Age toned and stained pages. Book smells musty and old, which is no surprise. There are appear to be no loose pages, although we have observed cracking/splitting in the gutters between page signatures. 635 pages. We will happily provide photos upon request!
