About This Item
John C. Winston Company, 1897. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good-Near Fine. New Edition. Edited by Maria Hornor Lansdale. Fold-out colored map of Florence, plus frontis and 29 photogravure plates, all with captioned tissue guards. Red cloth, titles and decoration in gilt; top edge gilt, sewn in ribbon marker. Publisher's printed red-cloth dust-wrapper with paper backing in publisher's red slipcase. The volume is very lightly edge rubbed, has offsetting to the endpapers from the jacket, and the hinges are starting. The cloth jacket is uniformly clipped on all corners, lightly rubbed, and the spine lettering is somewhat faded. The paper backing has two splits, but the cloth is unaffected. The slipcase is lightly soiled, rubbed, and has corner abrasions. This is a wonderful example of a 19th century book with its publisher's dust jacket and slipcase.

About Trilby & Co. Books
Trilby & Co. Books is located in Northern California. The company was founded years ago by a Shetland Sheepdog named Trilby. Trilby's message to her family was brief and direct - the sale of books would increase disposable income and improve the quality of provisions in her food dish. My name is McTavish (picture above). I am the current CEO of this company, and I approve of her message. Oh, by the way, my speciality is literature, with an emphasis on first editions and signed books.
