About This Item
Spink & Son, 1936 This unique and utterly classic library binding was commissioned from The Government Printing Office, in Mauritius, for the bibliophile Sir Robert Scott. Sir Robert was the Governor of Mauritius from Mar 1954 until Jul 1959. He had many books especially bound for him, and they are unique and exemplary. Such elegant and beautifully crafted works are expensive, and to commission this standard today would be several times the price of this one. Fine bindings are highly sought after collectables. For those seeking unique books, built to last, such books impart a refined impression to a home. If the book is also a timeless classic, as this one is, it becomes a permanent keepsake. This gorgeous book is made to last for centuries. Sir Robert has signed this copy on the inside front end paper. Language: eng Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng.
