About This Item
Paris: Baudry's European Library, 1833. Hardcover. Good+. Half calf and marbled paper, gilt-stamped ornament in spine compartments, gilt-stamped lettering in brown leather spine labels (second and fourth compartments); 3 volumes, 8vo. Front board detached from Volume I; other volumes a bit sunned along spine, and a bit scuffed on boards, and along joints and edges. Some very faint foxing here and there, but text blocks are overall nice and clean. A nice working set, or candidate for repair.
