About This Item
Oxford [at the Clarendon Press]: Oxford University Press, 1932. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover. Very good +/Good + and Very Good. A Very Good + copy of the first edition, first printing, in the Publisher's original boards covered with marbled paper which also provides the turn-ins, and showing blue spines with white labels lined, lettered, numbered, and decorated in black and with a pencil notation to each volume's front pastedown. (An extra spine label is tipped in near the rear of each volume. Each volume's leading board corners are rubbed and the spine ends to each volume are pushed. The leaves of each volume remain rather clean and host numerous illustrations and Volume I contains an informative Introduction, images of which can be found at our proprietary listing as can images of all four hinges. Volume I's front hinge is cracked and the remaining three are rather solid. The volumes are richly illustrated and include one reproduced image said to have been from a work by Cassandra. The dust jackets are worn, have some separation partially repaired by archival tape applied to the verso, and missing a large piece to the spine panel of the jacket for Volume I. In spite of such damage, the dust jackets are EXCEEDINGLY RARE.
