About This Item
Paris: A. Levavasseur et Cie, 1838. Hardcover. 384p., hardbound in 8x5 inch marbled boards and pressed-calf backstrip titled and ruled in gilt and blind, a custom job, not too fancy but in sound, presentable shape. Textblock edges sprinkle-decorated; hinges are excellent, endsheets are original and quite good, with a tiny seller's or binder's fiche at one corner of front pastedown. Extremities are slightly abraded but look good, a little too good, we see signs of "sophistication": corner-tips and spine rims have been strengthened with glue, joint-lines also, successful amateur work. We have opened and thumbed item several times and nothing falls apart. Textblock slightly waved or rippled but sits square without distortion. A good copy of volume 3 only.
