Description

Edinburgh: William Blackwood and Sons, 1858. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Octavo, 2 volumes, 366pp., 381pp. Without half-titles. A very good set, very bright and clean internally. Bound in contemporary 3/4 red polished calf over marbled boards, with marbled endpapers and all edges marbled. Corners and outer joints rubbed and a bit dry, and outer joint of volume II with a very thin partial crack; still sound. One of the morocco spine labels on volume I has partial loss, the same on volume II is perished; both gilt-stamped title labels are present and bright. Upon close inspection, there is bookplate removal to a front blank in each volume, though this is not offensive. Despits its evident flaws, a sound, internally clean example of Eliot's first book.

Seller rating: This seller has earned a 5 of 5 Stars rating from Biblio customers.

We are proud members of the ABAA. As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
