Item description from seller

Complete two volume set in slipcase. Full title - DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA BY ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLE; THE HENRY REEVE TEXT AS REVISED BY FRANCIS BOWEN NOW FURTHER CORRECTED AND EDITED WITH INTRODUCTION, EDITORIAL NOTES, AND BIBLIOGRAPHIES BY PHILLIPS BRADLEY. VOLS. I + II. Thirteenth printings (as stated upon each volume's respective copyright page; originally published April 1945). Brown cloth slipcase, H 22.75cm x L 16cm, with inner white felt lining; some external rubbing with slender scratch to top panel; seams are firm. Undecorated clear acetate/mylar dust jackets lightly rubbed. Both hardcover volumes, H 21.75cm x L 15cm, in handsome dark brown leather-style binding; four slightly raised bands to spines; bright gilt stamping to boards and spines; Volume I's front board personalized with gilt lettered "Robert E. Cannon" at bottom center (rear colophon credits typographic scheme and binding design to W.A. Dwiggins - William Addison Dwiggins, 1880-1956, but, of course, that must reference the original edition as this 1980 set is posthumous). Gilt top edges; deckle fore-edges. Faux marbling effect to front and rear endpapers. Interior pages are bright and clean. Bindings retain some crispness. A fine set in a near fine slipcase. VOLUME I: [2], i-cxiv, 1-434, i-xii, [3] pages. VOLUME II: [2], i-xiv, 1-401, [1], i-x, [2] pages. The most attractive modern edition of DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA encountered by this bookseller; no publisher statement explaining the binding so curious whether this was a special issue by Knopf or perhaps a post-purchase rebinding by the aforementioned owner Robert E. Cannon (no bookbindery ticket present to aid such a determination) - the presence of a very sturdy slipcase seems indicative of a specialist binder as publisher trade slipcases rarely reflect such rigid construction. Acquired from a Tupelo, Mississippi estate with no further provenance known. Issued as part of Alfred A. Knopf's "The American Past: An Informal Series." Please note that this set has an approximate shipping weight of 5 pounds (2.26 kg) and may require additional postage for any postal class other than domestic Media Mail.
