About This Item
Cassell & Co., 1916. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. Burnt orange cloth, spine title in gilt, cover title embossed. Good: corners and spine ends bumped and lightly rubbed, both hinges cracked but the binding is still firm, offsetting to the prelims, light foxing elsewhere. Not a particularly attractive copy, but the only copy of the Cassell true first edition we find as of early 2019.
