About This Item
First edition. No dust jacket. The autobiography of a prominent British Shakespearian actress of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. There is a water stain on the lower right front corner of the book (see photo #1), but no sign that the water reached the pages. The blue fabric covered boards show mild wear for a book well over 100 years old. Gilt print and decoration on the front and spine. The deckle-edged pages are clean, tight and unmarked, with gilt on the top edges. The original owner's name, Sally Foster Eaton, can be found inside the front cover, dated 1908. Ms. Eaton is significant herself, as she was a founding member of the Olympia, WA branch of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. This book will ship at over three pounds. Excess shipping costs are included in the list price. This is quite a rare book.
