The Collector Essays on Books, Newspapers, Pictures, Inns, Authors, Doctors, Holidays, Actors, Preachers

Beautifully rebound in 1/2 leather (brown Morocco) and marbled boards with barred spine, gilt lettering on the spine, and red marbled end pages. The original text block was 7.5" tall; the new covers are 8.5" tall. Pages are generally lightly toned with occasional foxing but clean and free of marks, creases, wrinkles, or tears. The new end pages extend about 1/4" past the original text block so they have curled and become worn along the fore-edges and bottom edges with some small creases, chips and tears. "33" is stamped on the reverse of the half-title page. There are a few small spots in the brown leather of the covers but most of the leather is clean and attractive. There is also some uneven fading to the leather and the marbled boards from sun exposure. Cover corners are not bumped. The gilded outer page edges on top of the book are a bit spotted and scratched. The book's barred spine is spotless with clean and bright gilt lettering and design. There is a little rub wear along edges of covers and spine. Overall, the book is still very attractive (see photos). (Note: Photos may show a flash reflection.) PayPal always welcome. We pack all our books with care and ship in cardboard boxes.
