About This Item
Springfield: George & Charles Merriam, 1853 Clean tight volume with leather cracking at the spine, dampstain on front cover [not unattractive], edgewear, 2" tear at front gutter. Internally light dampstain at the top margin, sporadic foxing, offsetting from frontis to glassine tissue guard and title page. Rather attractive volume. Extra shipping on this due to extra weight.
