About This Item
London: Charles Dilly, 1785. 2nd Edition . Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. The second edition, revised and corrected, "the whole of the first impression having been sold in a few weeks" according to Boswell's 'advertisement'. No half title, and leaf advertising Bowell's Life of Johnson is bound to rear. In general good internal order throughout. A little damp staining to foot of first few pages. Small closed tear to p.339. Very occasional marking. Otherwise generally clean and bright. Full contemporary leather, but front board detached and titlepiece largely missing from spine, so would benefit from a sympathetic rebinding. This is a charity sale for Friends Of Morston Church (reg.1099831).8vo. xx, 534pp

About Dodman Books
Formerly Journobooks, my original speciality was books about journalism, journalists, newspapers and other media (hence the name) and I still have a good stock of hard-to-find books in that field. Over time I have added a wide and eclectic variety of other collectible volumes alongside a general secondhand stock. I am a collector as well as a seller so know all about the pitfalls of online buying as well as the joys. I will try to make your buying experience as easy and as pleasant as possible.
