About This Item
First edition. No dust jacket. Deep green fabric covered boards with gilt decorationon the front and gilt print on the spine. Boards showing through at the corners and the fabric is splitting along the upper rear edge of the spine (about 4 cm, see photo #4). The pages are clean, tight and unmarked. A tear on the title page was once repaired with tape. The tape is long gone, but the tear remains (photo #3).
I have found that this has been considered a book important enough to have been reprinted in this century, some editions are quite fancy. However, there appear to be no copies of this original on the market, until now, that is. Hence, this book is about as rare as can be. I have no idea if my price is fair or a bargain. You be the judge.
Extended Description and Notes
A first edition that appears too be very rare on the market.
