About This Item
G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1883. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Bound in 3/4 brown Morocco over marbled boards, 5 raised bands on lighter toned spine, spine compartments stamped in gilt, top edges gilt, marbled endpapers. The volume is lightly bumped on the corners, gently sunned on the top edges, has offsetting to the perimeters of the endpapers, (from the leather overlap on the pastedowns), and there is a small stained area at the top of the fore-edges caused, we feel, by an overapplication of top gilding.

About Trilby & Co. Books
Trilby & Co. Books is located in Northern California. The company was founded years ago by a Shetland Sheepdog named Trilby. Trilby's message to her family was brief and direct - the sale of books would increase disposable income and improve the quality of provisions in her food dish. My name is McTavish (picture above). I am the current CEO of this company, and I approve of her message. Oh, by the way, my speciality is literature, with an emphasis on first editions and signed books.
