About This Item
J C Juta & Co, Cape Town, 1898. Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. Three volumes (complete). A much owned set of books. The spines of all three were repaired with green cloth (to march the boards). Volume I: 'Sale and Lease' - Second Edition. The boards are worn, scuffed, marked all about. They are tight and sure. The front pages have previous owner stamps. The contents have pencilled annotations; the pages have handling, age-related marks throughout. The pages are benign, certain, competent, clear. Volume 2: 'Wills' (pub 1896), First Edition. The boards are scuffed, marked by hand and stacking, worn, steady. The front pastedown has a previous owner stamp for Arthur Shacksnovis, who in addition to being a KC, was also the first person to broadcast a rugby match in South Africa. However, his career was short-lived when he was caught out: "And Bernie Osler has the ball, he is going to dropkick, no that was a feint, he dashes forward, side-steps, swerves, he is through the gap, he is going to score - fuck him he lost the ball!" The early pages have wear and age discolouration. The title page has a corner clipped away. Besides these distractions, the contents are clean, clear, confident, more than competent. Volume III: "Magistrates' Courts" (pub 1897), first edition. The boards are grubby, worn all about. There is wear along the spine seams. The boards are sound, sure. The frontispages have previous owner stamps. The contents have pencilled annotations. They have marks from handling, age throughout. There are some pages that are discoloured from age. However, the pages are placid, clear, certain, still useful. fk. Our orders are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
