About This Item
Unicorn Press, 1949. 2nd Edition . Hardcover. Good/Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. First edition 1895. This is apparently the first edition since. The book would be 'fine' but for having been too near an external wall. That lightening of the (green) cloth that accompanies residency in a damp corner has crept into the lower free corners of the boards. Dry now and in a nearly-clean dustwrapper that has minor loss at spine ends, not price-clipped and smart in a new Bordart plastic overwrapper. The 'Beardsley-esque' dustwrapper design is by John Parsons.
