About This Item
Publisher's original blue cloth with spine lettering and decorations gilt, octavo, pp. xi, 387. FAIR-only condition, with shelf wear and mottling of the cloth at foot of spine and in a few small places along bottom board edges and tips. Examining the title page, we find the beginnings of hinge tenderness in the gutter. Light spotting near fore-edge of Dedication page and Table of Contents page. Dust jacket FAIR-only, as well, with significant chipping, short tears, and loss of paper at foot of spine. Jacket now protected from further wear by a new sheet of removable Brodart. In 2006, a previous owner printed a two-page article about Coulter from an online encyclopedia, and that article is folded and laid in near the rear of the book.
