Description:
Leipzig: Bernhard Tauchnitz, 1903. Book. Very Good. 3/4 Leather. Later Reprint. 16mo - over 5¾ - 6¾" tall. As customary, this is a rebinding of the Tauchnitz reprint, this time in 3/4 brown morocco, with brown boards and raised bands on the spine. Fresh gilt title. Slight wear at the corners and the spine is not faded. Very clean and tight inside, with no prior owner marks. This might have been a library book, as there is a slight scar at the back inside board, where something has been removed. No other marks inside or out. No foxing and no browning to the paper. No evidence of the publication year after 1903, but probably 1910s or 1920s. Quiller-Couch was a prolific novelist, knighted in 1910, also known for his Oxford Book of English Verse, 1250-1900..

New York: Thomas Yoseloff, 1956. Book. Illus. by Profuse Maps, Illustrations and Portraits. Good. Full-Leather. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A facsimile reprint in quality, as new paper inside. The same size as the first edition, an edition of only 100 copies bound in full dark blue morocco. Sadly the spines are worn and chipped. Bright gilt titles and raised bands on the spines. Solid hinges inside and out, so a very readable set. This was a sought after account of the Civil War in its day, but no longer compares to modern accounts such as Shelby Foote. It is a companion piece for its illustrations, and battle accounts. Inside Exceedingly clean and tight. This is a bargain because of its worn spines. Images on request. Protected in the publisher's original slipcase. .
