Poems and Some Letters of James Thomson

Sewn binding in full cloth-covered boards, in dustjacket. American edition, but printed (and presumably bound) in England, and it shows. The real cloth covers are bound in smooth, dark-blue cloth, similar to the binding of older Oxford University Press books, and the gilt spine titles are bright. Binding firm, with intact hinges. Some wear at bottom edges, and wear and smudging near top edge front panel. Pages lightly toned. ***A few small stains on page-edges.*** As the book's spine is so lovely, you may want to dispense with the rather ugly, price-clipped dustjacket; the laminate has separated in spots, especially over the hinges, and is missing at the edges, which have accumulated some grime as a result. Small "dot" label on dj spine.
