About this Item

Small Octavo, [6], 52, [8] pages. In Good condition. Spine has been rebound in red cloth quarter binding with original boards preserved. Boards are bound in light grey-green paper, and show moderate scratching/scuffing and discoloration to covers - this partially disrupts the text and publisher's symbol on the front cover. Trio of grey stains on back cover. Moderate edge wear to bottom board edges. Wear at fore corners and bumping to bottom fore corner of rear board has resulted in exposed boards. Text block shows expected age toning, with some shelf wear and scuffing visible on bottom edge. Light foxing visible on top edge of text block. Binding is somewhat loose near top of spine, resulting in the text block leaning forward slightly. Toning and adhesive staining to endpapers. Embossed stamp from former owner on front free endpaper. Mixed red ink and pencil notation, underlining, and marginalia present throughout the book; all text remains entirely legible. Shelved in Room A. This book has the original boards, but the original binding has been replaced with red cloth quarter binding. Additionally, while this is a first trade edition, Strunk's Elements of Style had been printed before by private presses in 1918 and 1919. 1399735. Special Collections.
