[The Friendly Visitor.] Nos. 220 (January 1836, Vol. XIX) to 243 (December 1836, Vol. XX). 8vo. Pp. 208. A complete run of The Friendly Visitor for the year 1836. A few pages with faint water-staining; some variation in paper tone to endpapers. Text generally clean and well-preserved. Nice example of 19th-century binder's waste or scrap binding, with exposed spine, and visible bands. Boards composed of reused manuscript ledger leaves, and made up of several printed layers of thinner board, which look like advertisements. Signatures and structural sewing clearly visible, offering a view into contemporary bookbinding practices. An attractive example of period binding techniques and a fun book object.
