About This Item
London: Longman Brown Green Longmans. NEAR FINE set, with a MAJOR FLAW. 1st ed, 8"x5.5", 387,439pp.. 1848. 1st edition.. Hardcover. NEAR FINE books. Elaborate gilt decoration. MAJOR FLAW: both upper hinges repaired. Ideal candidate for quality repair. . Loose (opposed to tight) back binding so hinges repairable. Bound by a master though no binder ticket or turn in binder name. Gilt turn ins. AEG. Both FINE inside. Some plates (NOT text) with spot or two of foxing but no aging, marginalia, etc. Both tend to remain closed when stood on spines. Flaws (other than the hinges) very minor and mostly one type: scuffing. (1) All tips flat & square but scuffed. (2) Lower hinges scuffed. (3) Of the two book's 10 raised bands the very highest points of ONLY TWO are scuffed. Spine gilt quite elaborate and any scuffing at all would be very apparent. (4) "14.99" pencilled in both. (5) Vol 1 with full page pencilled gift inscription, 2nd ep with closed tear the width of the leaf. Kind of a puzzle. This set has obviously been opened a lot but, once opened, handled with great care. Happy to send more pix. .
