An Elementary Spanish Grammer

Publisher's gray-green cloth boards with black decorative border and titles, spine lettered "An Elementary Spanish Grammar / Loiseaux / Silver, Burdett and Company," legible but with visible wear and some loss of contrast in the lettering toward the foot. Cloth is worn at the spine head, with a small area of fraying/loss at the very top of the spine and light whitening at the tail. Corners are bumped and showing wear through to the board beneath. Text block edges are toned, with a rough, unevenly cut appearance along the fore-edge rather than a clean trim. Binding is tight and square, with the text block firmly attached; no cracking visible at the hinges. Interior pages are clean and unmarked, with no underlining, annotation, or foxing in the spreads examined. A sound, honest working copy of an early Columbia-affiliated Spanish grammar, with wear concentrated at the spine and corners rather than the text.
