About This Item
Kent, London Beautifully bound, firm and tight, buckram wraparound spine with hand marbled boards on covers. Clean and tight inside, with absolutely minimum library signs. No abuses except four minute stamps and one larger stamp with discreet notations. None of the customary damage from diverse hands. This is in an exceptional condition, and if it was without the stamps this would pass for a Fine book. Please ask for photos of the 'damage' because it really is slight. Remarkable and brilliantly reproduced engravings. Language: eng Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng. 1st Edition.. Hardcover. Very Good.
