Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1880 on the title page. 1879 on the copyright page. 1880 is the earliest year of publication that I have seen of any of the books for sale on the Internet. This is a large volume, yet it is solidly bound. I saw only one instance of a space between facing pages, and no instances of any loose pages. You can see the covers in the photographs provided. They have only a minor amount of wear (small rub-through at the corners, creasing at the spine ends, some fading of the red color and of the gilt design on the spine). As you can see, they do have some soiling (I've provided photos of the front and rear cover, as well as the spine). All three page edges are gilt. There are a good number of illustrations throughout the book. Their titles and artists are identified in two sections after the Contents page. One is titled 'Half-Title Illustrations And Tail-Pieces'. The other simply 'List Of Illustrations'. These latter are the larger illustrations and include three Frontispieces, back-to-back. Impressively, all but one of these illustrations has their tissue guard. And, perhaps even more impressively, all the tissue guards are really clean as are the illustrations they protect. There is no foxing or spotting to be found in this book. And there is close to a total absence of any soiling. The pages are exceptionally clean and also not particularly toned. However, all is not perfect. There is a water stain coming up off the bottom edge on both sides of where the pages meet. The water stain is fairly light but it can be seen on every page in the book. In over 90% of the pages it does not reach the print. In the other instances, mostly toward the end of the book, it just touches upon a few letters or words, and in those cases has no impact on one's ability to read. I've provided a typical example of how the water stain looks in a photograph. Beside one 2 inch tear coming up off the bottom edge of the first front end paper, and several tears on one tissue guard where it attaches at the middle, this water stain is pretty much the only condition issue inside the book. Nevertheless, I've priced the book at a sizable discount to its competitors for this reason alone. Finishing up, I didn't see any creasing or dogeared corners on the pages. There aren't any markings. No one has written their name or anything else anywhere in this book. And there are no attachments of any kind. Note: when I went through the List Of Illustrations to make sure that they were all present I discovered, oddly, that the illustration identified to be on page 338 was actually on page 325. Does that error suggest that this is a First Edition? Note also that this is a fairly heavy book (more than 3 pounds) and would thus need to be sent Priority if it were purchased outside of the United States. That would be rather expensive.
