About This Item
A.H. Baily & Co, 1866. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. Volume 11 only. The boards are quite shelf rubbed and edge worn, and there is surface damage to the spine. Aside from this, the boards remain strong and square, though the gilt to the spine has faded and dulled. Internally, there is a book plate on the front pastedown and the pages within are foxed and tanned throughout. Despite this, they remain legible, neat and complete, and there are no other markings or inscriptions. The 3/4 leather binding remains sound, and the book is whole and charming. Remarkably well-preserved for its age. JK. Our orders are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
