About This Item
NY: Scribners. NEAR FINE book, no DJ. 1st ed. Green cloth.. 1910. 1st edition.. Hardcover. NEAR FINE book. 1st ed. PRISTINE from pastedown to pastedown & all three text block edges. Conkey seal on cp. 10"x6",583pp. . Bright boards & spine, no spine sunning. Photos and Goodwin drawings in black & white. IMMACULATE inside. ZERO aging, foxing, marginalia, or any other kind of stain. Both pastedowns and 1st & last eps likely as white as new. Nor is there any glue browning at pastedown gutters. All three text block edges just as bright. Cover gilt likely bright as new. Book's two types of flaws are minor and confined to the covers. (1) All extrems scuffed but not worn. Wear being when the cloth is worn through to the underlying cardboard. (2) Spine has a few bubbled spots, one being a third of the way from the top. A professional conservator could eliminate these cover flaws. LASTLY this book stays closed when stood on its spine. It's a pretty safe bet it has never been read. .
