About This Item
NY: Appleton & Co., 1871. Book. Fair. Disbound. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 577pp, 1871, Appleton & Co. Disbound copy---no covers or spine. Text appears to be complete with no missing pages, although 1 or more pages of advertising at the end may be missing. An engraving of Lee and a map of a "Portion of the Valley of Virginia" are detached and laid in. The first onionskin protecting the title page is lightly stuck to the page but can probably be safely separated. Some water damage is evident on the title page and first subsequent pages, but the text is not affected, although there is evidence of foxing small stains. Five rows of stitches binding the signatures are present and appear to be intact, although a few final pages of advertising may be lost. No major tears or stains. This copy may be suitable for rebinding and should make a good, though not perfect copy. Note again: there are no covers and no spine..
