The Jungle Book & The Second Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling - 1894

The Jungle Book:

First edition, second impression, published in June 1894, just one month after the first impression. Publisher's original dark blue cloth, all edges gilt. Gilt to spine and upper board is beautifully preserved. Slight spine slant and a little light marking to boards with some rubbing to spine tips and corners; very small and inconspicuous sticker to top corner of front paste-down; some cracking to binding, as is common, but all pages remain in place and firmly bound; light and occasional spotting, primarily to opening pages; free from writing and inscriptions.

The Second Jungle Book:

First edition, first impression (Macmillan & Co, 1895). Publisher's original dark blue cloth, all edges gilt. Gilt to spine and upper board nicely preserved with a touch of darkening to spine; some rubbing to spine tips and corners; very small and inconspicuous sticker to top corner of front paste-down; upper board a little tender, as is common, but binding remains nice and firm; some foxing to front endpaper verso with light and occasional spotting here and there throughout. A very good set.
