Books

The Colonial Library Edition - aproximately 500 were published for the Colonial Library, and these books escaped the pulping of copies of The Rainbow after the court obscenity ruling. Bound in rust cloth with gilt lettering and decoration to spine. There is slight staining to the boards and the edges are bumped. Endpapers have the Colonial Library list of titles 'published as far as possible simultaneously with their appearance in England'. Pages are age tanned with occasional foxing. Front hinge is beginning to crack. Overall a good copy of this rare edition.
