About This Item
1937 hardcover as pictured. This is a very nice volume, of interest more for its design and production than for content. The binding, with head and tail bands, is firm. Maroon deeply embossed boards with gold stamping on front and spine show light edge wear and gently bumped lower corners. Maroon endpapers. Text block with gilt top edge and thumb index. Text is age tanned. Page 475 has a small tear. No dust jacket. A handsome addition to any bookshelf. Your purchase helps support our small village library. s
