About This Item
Oliver & Boyd and Geo. B. Whittaker, 1825. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. Condition has been determined according to the age of the books. 2 volume set. The boards are shelf rubbed and edge worn, but remain strong and square. Internally, there is moderate foxing throughout the pages of both volumes, though this does not affect the clarity of the text, and there are no other markings or inscriptions within. The binding is excellent - 1/4 calf leather with gold gilt to the spine. A beautiful set considering that it is nearly two centuries old! JK. Our orders are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
