A propos de cet article

A very good copy of the second revised edition of Dr Barry's comprehensive account of the Orkney Islands in contemporary full leather binding. With folding map and 11 full page plates. The binding has been carefully rebacked at some point relaying the original spine which has small raised bands and decorative gilt compartments with title label and label giving the publication date and location. The boards have a gilt ruled border with small gilt designs in the corners. It is sound and clean with rubbing and some leather loss to the corners. The front board has a darkened area at the top. Page edges marbled. The endpapers are marbled, with the armorial bookplate of Dogmersfield Library to the front pastedown endpaper. The library, sold in 1907, belonged to Sir Henry St John Mildmay. Contents: initial blank; title, dedication, preface to 2nd edition and contents listing pp xvi; large fold-out map of Orkney; text pp 1-398 with 11 plates; appendix pp 401-498; Index 499-513. The contents are clean and the map is complete - one edge has a small crease and there is some browning along the top edge. The endpapers and blanks are very brown toned and there is toning to the page edges, particularly the top edge. There is the occasional mark or spot. The plates are clean with occasional spotting. One plate has a partial guard to prevent offsetting to a table on the opposing page. Please enquire if you would like to see additional images.…

Description de la boutique

We are a small online bookselling business specialising in rare and unusual books, generally published before 1900, with a focus on natural history, history, illustrated works and some literature. We are based in the beautiful Orkney Islands and have a specialist Orkney/Shetland section in our listings. We run a bookshop in Orkney - Birsay Books - where we have a wide range of stock from science fiction and fantasy to maritime and, of course, Orkney/Shetland and Scottish material. We take images of all of our books to supplement the online descriptions, and are always happy to provide more on request. When you order from us, we ensure that books are properly packed to protect their condition and we always use recorded or 'signed for' postal services for additional security. Because we are based on an island which depends on ferries and flights for shipping, we can not guarantee 'next day' delivery. We will simply get your purchase to you as quickly and safely as we can.…
