About This Item
New York, Chicago and San Francisco: Belford, Clarke & Co, 1888. Hardcover. 208pp. Octavo [22 cm] 1/4 dark brown cloth with illustrated paper over boards. Good.

The spine is rolled, and the cloth at the spine ends is a little frayed. There is a short split in the cloth along the front joint. The hinges have been reinforced, and there is a loss from the paper along the fore edge of the front pastedown. The loss measures 1/2" wide by 3 and 1/2" tall. There are sporadic stains on the pages. The illustration at p. 19 has a small open tear and a long closed tear. Profusely illustrated.
