Item description from seller

Two volumes (complete). A robust, solid couple of books. Bound in three-quarters leather. The books are elderly and appear to have languished rather in storage. However, they are resolute and sound. The boards are much worn, marked, stained. They are steady. The leathered corners and spines are also much worn. The spines pleasingly fit. The leathered areas respond well to wax polish. Within, the gutters fore and aft are cracked. The security of the books are unaffected. Vol 1: 'Tales and Sketches' - a retiring copy. The contents are foxed throughout, there are age marks, some storage marks. Nonetheless, the pages are clear, tight, certain, alert. Vol II : - with a memoir of James Hogg (the Ettrick Shepherd) by the Rev Thomson - 'Poems and Life'. This volume also has foxing throughout. The early pages storage tide marks. The contents are firm, assured, clear, benign, amenable. fk. Our orders are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.

Store description

Chapter 1 trades out of three premises that are all in the Johannesburg area. Our emphasis is providing quality books at highly competitive prices. A large (and continuously growing) selection of our books are listed on various websites on the internet. We post on a daily basis to all parts of the world. All our books are parcelled in tissue paper, bubble wrap, card board and strong brown paper. If the book has a dust jacket it is provided with a protective cellophane sleeve. We supply a tracking number on every parcel that we post. We specialise in Modern First Editions, Rhodesiana, Africana and other rare and out of print books. We are always looking to buy interesting and unusual books and libraries in Johannesburg and Cape Town. We are prepared to travel within the greater Johannesburg and Cape Town area if the quantity warrants it.…
