The book has no edgewear, and the binding is tight and square. The original end papers are present with No owner names, No inscriptions and No bookplates. The internal pages are intact and tightly bound, being overall very clean for a Verne book with scant few random pages with a faded handling mark, otherwise no writing and no foxing. Please see many detailed images. This is a very thick book of 299 pages plus a small publisher?s catalogue at the end. A very handsome unrestored example of this title in collectible condition in stunning blue cloth and withOUT the excessive staining or excessive wear and broken bindings as is typically found with Verne books. Important scarce Verne book, presenting well on the shelf. Would make a wonderful gift for a Verne collector. Please note this is a very heavy thick book so shipping is priced accordingly.
