About This Item
Sampson Low, Marston, Searle & Rivington , 1881 and 1882. First Edition. Very Good. Two volumes, Parts I and II. First English edition. Contemporary half leather and marbled boards; gilt titles, 5 raised bands; all edges gilt. The edges are lightly rubbed and there is some spotting to the spines (especially to volume II). There is light toning to the pages and it appears that one illustration in each volume had been loose and then reinserted because, even though now secure, the edges protrude slightly.

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.
