London, UK Dent: Everyman Library, 1922. Hardcover Good: Shows significant indications of use. Binding is splitting at the exterior front hinge (the interior hinges and gutters are intact); considerable wear to the extremities, with sparse but pervasive chipping to the leather (or perhaps leatherette), exposing the edges of the underlying boards; the binding remains square; the text is clean. Free of ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, or labels. Overall, remains a sturdy reading copy with a clean text. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 12mo. (6.9 x 4.5 x 0.8 inches). xx, 264 pages. Top Edge Gilt. Gilt floral carpet designs at the front panel and backstrip and gilt titles at the backstrip. Sewn-in Silk Ribbon Marker. Maroon pebble leather (or perhaps leatherette) over boards. There is an introduction, but it is unattributed. Date of publication is estimated, based on the style and materials used in the binding, as the book does not provide any dates. Hardback: Flexible Leatherette.
