About This Item
A first (thus) edition of Keightley's collection of fairy stories. He published this 'reissue' as he called it some five years after the original, with amendments. Sometimes known as the second issue. Overwhelmingly, pages are very good indeed: bright and clean. Some have spotting, and a few especially at the start have a little light staining. But most are really very nice. Front and rear endpapers have heavy brown tape residue of presumably an earlier protective cover applied. Two small inscriptions are on FEP and opening page. Opening pages condition not as good as rest of book. Front hinge and (less so) rear hinge has a little detachment, though overall binding is generally tight. Spine has a piece missing at top, and is generally eroded here and there. Front and back cover generally fine. Overall, covers are good, spine and initial pages fair, while internal pages are very good. See all photos - we don't use stock photos, all pictures are of the actual edition for sale
