New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1960. Perhaps the best way to appreciate Gibbon is through Low's famous one-volume abridgement, which is massive enough. This is a Near Fine copy of the Book Club edition, which is bound in the same way as the First. Red cloth binding blindstamped "EG" on the front cover, with gilt titling on the spine. Clean text; xviii, 924 pages. Maps as endpapers. Hints of a rub to the tips; else a Fine copy. The dustjacket shows some edgewear, mainly wrinkling, with a small closed tear to the foot of the front panel. In an archival plastic protector. Book Club (BCE/BOMC). Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
