Lorna Doone, A Romance of Exmoor. This item is unavailable.Lorna Doone, A Romance of Exmoor

A very good copy with very good dustwrapper in the original blue decorative cloth binding with 16 tipped in colour plates by Brock and Brittan. Undated but 1930's and commissioned by Boots the Chemists. The wrapper has a pasted portrait to the front and is complete but with a small tear and a little nibbling to the top spine edge. The spine is darker. It is in a protective wrap. The blue cloth binding is very bright and clean with gilt decoration and titles to the front board and spine. There is some pulling to the spine. Internally there is some offsetting from the advertisements on the wrapper ends to the endpapers. The frontispiece and title page have light spotting and the frontispiece has a couple of creases. Contents otherwise very clean. There is a recurrent paper flaw affecting some pages, which creates a light crease line from the gutter diagonally out into the text page for a couple of inches. Page 290 was opened poorly - with some tearing at the base in the gutter - this has been repaired with small loss from the bottom edge and there is small loss from the bottom edge on p 291. Text is not affected.…
