About This Item
2nd ed of the Beardsley commissioned editions, in one volume. Wear to head and tail of spine, shelf rubbing and pushed corners. Brownish stain to lower spine, scratches and marks to the boards, a few little areas on edges of boards where the cloth has worn through to the boards. Foxing and toning to prelims and endpapers but no previous owners inscriptions or writing. Toning to textblock, gold gilt to top edge. When packaged this book would weigh approximately 2.6kg. I have factored in global courier by DHL so the price includes DHL courier. Beautifully illustrated book in Very Good Condition.
