About This Item
Research shows that the first edition is 1871. This date appears at the bottom of the title page and on the copyright. Rare first edition with a tissue frontispiece of the author opposite the title page beginning with Chapter 1, "Read the Best Books". The boards have some stains and scratches with a partial glass ring. They are very worn at the corners and edges with some tears to the cloth at the edges of the spine. The hinges appear intact. The back is shown first. Signature of gift giver on ffep. Book is complete. Some pencil lines in the margins and several lines underlined in two places. Paper is thin so I didn't try to erase them. Some speckling to foredge. I suspected the top may have been dyed at some time. Book appears to be self published since the printer is listed on the title page. Several page corners creased ad the bottom and some stains and smudges. Spine is cocked. The paper apparently was stuck opposite the copyright page and was pulled apart.
