About This Item
No dust jacket. Decorated green fabric cover with edgewear. Black decorationon front and spine, with gilt print on spine only. Rear cover lightly stained, darkened and worn on the spine. Pages fairly tight and tanned. A hinge split is beginning in the front endpaper, and has happened at a few other places, but not so anything is coming loose. This book has been turned into ebooks and reprinted as replicas. What I have been unable to find is any copies on the market of the early versions as is this one. Wee Wifie was first published in 1869, and then revised later by the author prior to reprinting. This is a revised version, published by a company which only existed between 1896 and 1898. There is no date within the book, but I can safely say it was published in 1897, give or take a year. Obviously, this is a very rare book.
