About This Item
This is a very good hardcover. Although there is some fading to the spine, the binding is like new and the pages are clean. Slight foxing to the tissue guard and previous owner's name neatly written on the title page. This is a very attractive and collectible edition. No edition stated. There are 350 illustrations by the author. Original brightly gilt lettered red cloth with black and white decorations (Bab figures). Shipping will be expensive but, I will cover the additional cost to Canada and Continental United States.
