About This Item
New York: B.F. Buck and Company, 1905. Revised Edition. Hardcover. Good/None. 359 pages. Hardcover. B/w illustrations throughout, many (plates) with tissue guards. Gilt edges, Blue, marbled cover boards (with endpapers to match), gilt decorations and title on spine, and leather corner accents and spine. Previous owner's bookplate on front endpaper. Some splits at gutter, and the leather at spine is beginning to peel back (see image). Pages have some finger print smudges and just a touch of tanning from age. This volume would be an excellent addition to any collector's library, and although not entirely necessary, would be quite spectacular once rebound. Record # 32509
