Sykes, John
Used Hardcover First Edition

Seller: Burley Fisher Books, London, United Kingdom

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars 5-star rating, Learn more about seller ratings

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. These pair are a delightful artefact from the age of scholarship of leisure. Little of John Sykes, the author of this local record, appears in the historical record. We know that he was a bookseller of Newcastle, and we can assume that this trade is what allowed him to produce these these remarkable tomes, which cover happenings, deaths, and strange events in the region of Northumberland. It is filled with remarkable stories, most likely the life's work of the forementioned Mr. Sykes. As for the binding, it has been expertly put together by the noted Thomas Waters of Newcastle. The spine is marked with attractive glit, which has lost none of its vivaciousness or glisten through its long years of existence. The page ends are expertly marbled, which serve to offset an even more gorgeous paste-down and page end marbling work. As for minor defects, the boards suffer from minor discolouration, and the hinges have been scuffed (most likely from keen thumbing). The interior of both volumes suffer from foxing, which serve more-or-less as a mark of venerability and status. We are pleased to report that the interior remains exceptionally readable and tight. These are perhaps the best preserved copies in circulation at present. Seller Inventory # ABE-1669128352332
