About This Item
Peter Fenelon Collier. Good with No dust jacket as issued. 1897. Hardcover. General wear, loose bindings, decent condition especially for age; First 3 of series of 15. Binding is tight on Volume I, OK on Volume 3 and barely-holding on Volume 2. Pages all unmarked but somewhat aged. No dustjackets at issue. Embossed cloth covers with gilt titles -- all are generally scuffed and the spine titles illegible. Corners are bumped and spine tips frayed. Support an independent used bookstore in Minneapolis! ; Vol. 1/3/2023; ; Vol 1-3 of what I surmise to be a 4 volume set, support a local bookstore in Minneapolis! .
