About This Item
London: Macmillan and Co Limited. 1904. First Edition. Hardcover. First edition, but I am not certain as to the printing/state/issue. [What would normally be the copyright page is blank, the "advertisement" page facing the title page is dated "March 1904", but the ads at the rear are dated "10.4.04"]. Red cloth lettered/decorated/bordered in gold gilt, top edge gilt, 509 pages plus 18 pages of ads at the rear. Historical fiction novel involving Mary, Queen of Scots / Scotland.
Good copy with the spine slightly cocked with some toning, lightly bumped, scattered relatively light soiling/staining to the cloth, light uneven toning to the end papers; but the text is tight and clean and the hinges are not cracked. See Photos clph

About biblioboy
We are biblioboybiblioboy dealers in Books, Stamps, Ephemera, Victorian Trade cards, Magazines, Postcards, Sheet Music, Engravings, and much more. I started out as a book collector and soon progressed to owning a book store with over 80,000 books and more than 10,000 pieces of ephemera, postcards, and other items. I exhibited my stock for years at book and paper shows around the eastern United States. As the book and paper business has changed over the years, I have changed the way I do business to evolve with the times. I now offer my items for sale on the web only, through my various listing services and web sites. Being a a collector, as well as a dealer, I understand the importance of condition, as well as rarity of an item, and the desire to own scarce and one of a kind items.
