Four works by Colton bound in one volume. Being: Lacon (first volume, 10th edition, 1821); Lacon (second volume, first edition, 1822); Lord Byron (half title only, ND, advertisement dated 1819, likely 1822); Moscow (fourth edition, 1822). A good Colton collection, of which the second volume of Lacon appears particularly scarce. Some toning and foxing, but not too intrusive. Occasional neat pencil notation. Armorial bookplate to front pastedown. Heavily worn half leather binding of which spine has been replaced by brown paper with hand-drawn paper label. Not unattractive, but a good candidate for a sympathetic rebind. 8vo. i) xiii + 267pp; ii) v + 186pp; iii) 566pp; iv) vii + 30pp.

Store description
Formerly known as Journobooks, our original speciality was books about journalism, journalists, newspapers, magazines and other media (hence the old name) and we still have a great stock of hard-to-find books in that field. Over time we have added a wide variety of other collectible gems some of which we sell on behalf of the charity Friends of Morston Church (reg.1099831). Our goal is to offer the best value for money on Abebooks, ie. the lowest price for the condition of the book. We love buying and selling books, so will try to make your buying experience as easy and pleasant as possible.…
