About This Item
Edition Limited to an unstated number of copies, of which this is number 798, publisher's brown cloth with printed paper label mounted on upper board, octavo, pp. 65 plus Author Index and Title Index. FAIR condition only. Boards are soiled and worn at spine ends and tips. Inner hinges are cracked. A blank front endpaper may have been neatly excised. Most notably, previous owner made extensive notes and arithmetical calculations on the pastedowns and endpapers. Title page and front paper label also have markings. Some are pencil; some are ink. (See our image for an example.) Some notes provide an interesting glimpse into that time period: rent payment calculations, for example. We may be funny about things, but we consider the extraneous notes a bonus rather than a defect.
