About This Item
Privately Printed, 1853. Hardcover. Very Good -. Signed. Second edition. Inscribed, faintly, on the half-title by the editor (and father of Arthur Henry Hallam) to Mrs. [Sarah] Austin, a friend of the author. Contemporary red half morocco, marbled paper boards and matching endpapers, gilt rules and lettering; top edges gilt. Frontispiece. The volume is bumped on the corners and edge rubbed, with abrasions and loss of paper to the folds.

Still, near very good and quite scarce.

About Trilby & Co. Books
Trilby & Co. Books is located in Northern California. The company was founded years ago by a Shetland Sheepdog named Trilby. Trilby's message to her family was brief and direct - the sale of books would increase disposable income and improve the quality of provisions in her food dish. My name is McTavish (picture above). I am the current CEO of this company, and I approve of her message. Oh, by the way, my speciality is literature, with an emphasis on first editions and signed books.
