This is, in our estimation, the most beautiful edition of Cape Cod, with a gilt and blind stamped art-nouveau cover design and the delicate and completely appropriate color vignettes by Watson scattered throughout. This example is in very good condition only with its flaws. 2 volumes, octavo, 7 1/2" tall, vol. 1: color frontispiece + vii + 173 pages; vol. 2: color frontispiece + 208 pages with index, gilt top fore-edges, titles and decorations on olive-green cloth. A very good, generally clean, neat original hardcover edition with minor shelf wear but cloth color faded at the spines; binding tight, paper lightly yellowed. Without dust jacket.

Store description

Avenue Victor Hugo Books specialize in first editions of the best in fiction, history, biography, poetry, drama, and essay, as well as the good items which happen to come our way in other subjects. Genre literature such as Science Fiction, Fantasy, Mystery, and Westerns will remain of special interest to us. We also carry many collectible magazines, including TIME, LIFE, National Geographic, and Playbill. Our catalogue features careful, considered assessments of all of our stock. We are not flippers selling books by the pound. Instead, we try to limit our stock to books in a condition we'd be proud to place on our personal bookshelves. Books are something to be cherished, so that's what we do. After years of running our bookstore on Newbury Street in Boston's Back Bay, our store has moved. We are now located in Lee, New Hampshire, less than 10 minutes from the University of New Hampshire. Our store is open from 10am to 6pm every Saturday.…
