About This Item
Boston: James Munroe and Company, 1841. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine. 12mo, 303pp. A fresh, lovely copy, bound in full crushed deep blue morocco by Taffin, with gilt borders,raised bands, gilt spine compartments, gilt dentelles, marbled endpapers, and gilt top edge. A few very small abrasions to the bottom edges of the boards and corners, and the rear board, and the spine panel just a tinge darkened (not the gilt). Altogether a very handsome copy, just about fine. Interior contents particularly fresh and bright, with a very small, faint stain on p. 9. Faint scuffing to two interior blanks. The binder has very neatly and lightly (if unnecessarily) pencilled in several page numbers, though this is reversible, if desired. A very handsome copy of Emerson's first book of essays, containing his imperishable "Self-Reliance" and "The Over-Soul," among others. BAL 5189; Grolier American 47.

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
