Description:
The original 1914 self-published softcover book. 78 pages plus end leaves. Extremely uncommon.Condition of the book is Acceptable. See photos. The softcover wraps show moderate wear. Both the front and back covers have partial tears at their spine joints, but are still attached. The spine itself also has some loss of paper.The text block of the book is complete. The first leaf, and the last leaf, appear to have previously detached from the staple binding, and have been glued in place (an amateurish repair, unfortunately). The last listing photo shows where 'overgluing' of the back leaf has resulted in an edge tear to the inside portion of that leaf. Inside pages are otherwise in good condition, with occasional edge wear. They include many illustrations and full page plates.In sum, a rare and important book, in less than good condition, but still readable.Discounted price for inventory reduction.
Please message me with any questions.
