About This Item
Hardback. Good. Adam & Charles Black, London, 1892; large 8vo, pp [172, being 187-258]; red cloth, corners a little bumped and the covers somewhat dulled but overall in good condition. This is a complimentary book, an advertising product for and given by John Burgess & Sons in respect of their sauces and fish and other products. Loosely inserted is a facsimile of a hand-written note alerting the recipient to the fact that Scott twice mentions Burgess's sauces in the text. Also mentioned is a postcard which Burgess asks should be returned to acknowledge receipt but, not surprisingly, this is not present. An interesting and uncommon 19th century advertising gift and perhaps also an early instance of product placement..
