About This Item
Leipzig: Bernhard Tauchnitz, 1902. Book. Very Good. 3/4 Leather. Later Reprint. 16mo - over 5¾ - 6¾" tall. As customary, this is a rebinding of the Tauchnitz reprint, this time in 3/4 brown morocco, with brown boards and raised bands on the spine. Fresh gilt titles on both volumes. Slight wear at the corners and spines are not faded. Very clean and tight inside, with no prior owner marks. This might have been a library book, as there is a slight scar at the back inside board, where something has been removed. No other marks inside or out. No foxing and no browning to the paper. No evidence of the publication year after 1903, but probably 1910s or 1920s. Samuel Rutherford Crockett was a prolific Scottish novelist, often writing historical adventures like this one, set in rural Scotland. .
