Description

Licence, errata page, Animadversion (after C4) & Paul Neile (after F2) all present. Looks like a 19th c. rebacking with a softer leather retaining contemporary boards. Spine worn with loss of headpiece at top. Hinges a bit worn with a couple of cracks to front one. Boards worn. Internally hinges intact. F.e.p. has a small square cut out to show the remains of an armorial bookplate underneath. Licence page darkened, with wear and minor loss around edges as well as some contemporary writing. Title page rubbed and marked. Most pages are browned to margins but not bad. First leaf of Pomona stained to leading edge which continues for a few leaves. Final leaf cropped (see images). Not without flaws but nothing too major and still a complete and solid copy. Postage will be confirmed when you enquire or order and for light or very heavy books will vary from the ABE quote which is based on a 1kg parcel. N.B. Postage to the USA will often be quite a bit less than the quote on ABE.
