About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A.: The Review of Reviews Co.. Hardcover. Acceptable/No DJ as Issued. As expertly described by Islander Bookshop: "No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Volume III of a set of VI. No publication date stated, circa 1940(?). Introductions by George Saintsbury. Frontispiece period illustration on coated art paper. Bound in green cloth with navy panel on spine, gilt lettered. Boards are rubbed, somewhat scuffed, on corners and spine ends and rubbed along some of the edges. Top edge gilt. Pages are clean and unmarked, slightly toned. Some pages are a little wavy. 5" x 7.5" tall; 432 pp." Our copy has seen better days: worn boards speckled white from surface rub marks, binding is loose and split at preface page, frontispiece is fine but its rice paper overlay is missing; bottom page edges foxed. n.d., estimates vary from 1900 to 1940 with most claiming 1915.
