About This Item
by Hopkinson, John
first edition
FIRST EDITION FIRST PRINTING. Hard cover. Printed for the Ray society and sold by Dulau & co., ltd, London (1913)
Good. Ex-library. xii, 288, 4 p. 23 cm. Ray Society (Series). The Ray society.. FIRST EDITION FIRST PRINTING. On front is the white call number you see. It is repeated at bottom of spine. Corners are bumped/ribbed and top of spine has small nick, but overall appearance is very bright with the fresh-looking gilt insignia and the incuse decoration. The back is even better. Because this book is from a museum, it does NOT have the usual pocket etc. It has a museum library sticker inside back board and on what would in modern day be the copyright page, it has an elliptical blue library stamp and manuscript call number. It all seems so tight and the pages so fine-looking that I suspect it was never read
