About This Item
Publisher's blue cloth with black spine lettering, octavo, pp. xv, 189. T. W. Rolleston portrait frontis and 15 more illustrations, as called for. Spine ends, board tips, and lower board edges are rubbed. Moderate foxing. FAIR-only price-clipped dust jacket is weary from its pre-mylar life, with chipping and erosion at spine ends, fold points, and along perimeters. A significant loss of paper at the middle of jacket's rear flap fold point (see photo). GOOD and serviceable withal. Bonus craic: Stamp (largely faded but still legible) of the great GREENE & CO. bookstore of Dublin at bottom of front paste down.
