About This Item
New York: Parke-Bernett Galleries, Inc, 1966. First Editions. An exlibrary copy in very near fine condition in dark blue paper covered boards with gilt text stamped on the spine and on the front board and with a book plate from the Rhode Island Historical Society on the front paste down. A small quarto of 9 7/8 by 6 7/8 inches with the spine and upper edges of the boards slightly faded due to exposure to the sun and with a library call label on the spine. There is a 1" closed tear to the paper over the lower edge of the front joint which has been professionally repaired. Without a dust jacket as issued. Laid-in at the front of the book are the prices realized from the sale in April of 1967. 984 pages containing 1295 listings followed by an index. Although this is an ex-library copy it is evident that few patrons ever consulted this volume as it is in such nice condition.
