Description
First Edition (SD,' Published October, 1910' ). You can see the covers in the photos. They are very clean. There is a blind stamped decoration on the front. The gilt lettering on the front is raised, nicely bright. The gilt lettering on the spine is also nicely bright. There is very little wear on the covers, a little crinkling at the spine ends, light rubbing at the corners, including a very tiny spot of rub-through at each of the two bottom corners. The cover edges are in excellent shape. The middle and bottom page edges are deckled or rough-cut. The book is square and the spine is straight. The binding is solid from cover to cover. The covers are nicely tight. The pages are exceptionally clean. Scrolling through, only found one instance of a small spot at the bottom corner of to facing pages, far from the print. There is very little by way of creasing, few late pages have a tiny crease under there top corner, also far from the print. There are no markings in the book. There are no attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. The inside covers and end papers look very good as well. As I mentioned the pages are rough-cut. One almost all of them they did a very good job, meeting no significant jaggedness. A handful or so to have a little jaggedness. The Contents page in particular as some thin loss off its middle edge, not reaching near the print. There are nineteen illustrations they are all in excellent condition. I didn't see any foxing anywhere in the book. A really nice-looking book.
