In burgundy cloth boards which are very attractively blind stamped. Gilt lettering to front and spine and gilt page block edge. Corners are a little bumped and some edge wear, particularly to the spine. Some light staining. Binding is loosening a little and some pages have become disbound but are still present. Some foxing to earlier pages but the writing examples are largely in very good condition. Utterly fascinating!

Store Description

Richardson Rare Books Tel. 01472 823900 was formerly known as Mr. Books which is located on Tonbridge High Street in Kent, England for over 12 years up until July 2017. Due to the sale of the bricks and mortar side of the business it made sense to change the name to reflect a shift of direction. Since then we have been trading online, at PBFA fairs and Bloomsbury Book Fairs, as well as showcases at select antique centres in Lincolnshire. We don't specialise in anything in particular, just rare and fine books on many subjects. Over the years we have built up an impressive range of signed modern fiction firsts which aren't always listed on abebooks so please do call us if you have any particularly collections you'd like to add to. The stock is being constantly replenished so it's always worth visiting us at one of the fairs we exhibit at. See web site for details (subject to constructing it.)
