Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Miniature book, 2 x 1.25", embossed limp leather, covers a bit rubbed and edge-worn, contents a bit worn, but still a decent copy with a 1/2" diameter magnifying glass tucked into front cover. WITH 5.5" METAL CHAIN ATTACHING IT TO A 5" TALL WOODEN BOOKSTAND. The bookstand has an old paper sticker on bottom explaining why books were chained in churches, but this is so worn and chipped that only about half the words can be read; one cannot read the sticker's (stand's) maker, just that it came from Glasgow. Still, an interesting miniature reconstruction. SCARCE.
