About this Item

Brown cloth boards with gilt lettering to spine and front. Boards are rather worn but still serviceable. Corners are bumped, edges are worn. Spine is faded with bumping to ends resulting in some loss. Would need the attentions of a good book binder to realise its full potential. The inner hinges are cracked and some of the strings are broken. Many pages loose or loosened. Some foxing. Sixty illustrations from designs by Stothard and Inskipp. (50 full page and various vignettes etc) Seven pages in the advert section to the rear have had an items cut out, leaving a peculiar letter-box effect! 320 pp + adverts. Previous owner's bookplate. 'A Discourse of Rivers Fish-ponds Fish and Fishing' by Izaak Walton, pages 1-217 & 'Instructions how to Angle for a Trout or Grayling in a Clear Stream' by Charles Cotton, pages 217-273 Additional photos are available upon request. When securely packed this item will weigh in the region of 979g. Unless specifically mentioned, all our books are photographed so you can see what you are buying.
