Description:
Philadelphia: J.B. Lippincott Company, 1903. VG+. A beautifully preserved copy. Fifth edition, original from 1892. Bright red boards with black lettering and design look crisp and bright. Internals are clean and bright. Very attractive. There is a very tiny chipping of the middle third of the pages upper right hand corner. This sounds much worse than it is, since I did not even notice it at first and it does not affect the book itself. In fact, with the pages opened, one cannot see it. Only when the book is closed and you look at the page edges do you see it. It does not detract from the attractiveness of the book. You would be hard pressed to find a better copy.. F. Hardcover.
