About this Item
Description:
Lovely original antique fine leather "Miniature Dictionary of the English Language." The dictionary was beautifully bound by Sangorski & Sutcliffe. It is miniature in size, measuring approximately 3 5/8 inches by 2 1/2 inches. The book is overall in very good condition with some minor signs of wear and age. There is no printed publishing date but it was most likely printed sometime around 1903 to the 1910's. The leather covers have some mild scuffing and wear with a little flaking to the joints. All of the page edges are gilt. The binding is good and sound. The interior is lightly toned from age but is mostly nice and clean though there may be the occasional page a light bit of foxing or grubbiness. The back pastedown has a few small red spots. Along with that there may be the very occasional page with some kind of other minor imperfection. Generally though, it's a nice copy. The dictionary 632 pages long. Please look at all of the photos to further note the condition. Seller Inventory # 307000808409
