A propos de cet article

Fair condition leather bound first edition, 1845. No DJ. Binding is still tight and all pages are firm. Front cover is not fully shaken but is in the process of separating from the spine (from the bottom). The original leather and lettering have flaked off the right half of the spine and what remains is in poor condition. It appears that some brown tap was applied to secure the spine in the distant past, and two strips of it remain on the front and back covers. Shelf wear to top and bottom of spine, corners of covers are rounded and worn. Pages show mild tanning commensurate with age, but quite good overall. 1/8 inch creases to bottom corners of pages 50-90. 252 pages.
