Stalky & Co.

Classic collection of stories about a schoolboy and his friends. No writing, marks, or underlining except for an inscription dated Dec. 1899 on the front free endpaper. No bookplates. Spine is tight and crisp. Boards are flat and true, and the corners are square. Boards are slightly bumped, and there is a small gouge (1/4") on the front cover. There is no dust jacket. This copy has some other significant flaws including separation along the front hinge at the top and bottom 2" of the book. This separation goes to about page 3, which is no longer attached to the book (but remains intact). The endpapers along the rear hinge are also separated from each other. The title page has a 4" tear from the top, and a rear flyleaf is missing a large chunk. There is some foxing to the last few pages, as well as some discoloration to page 310. In general, however, the pages are crisp and clean, and the gold gilt lettering on the front board and spine remains intact. This is still an appealing copy that will look great on any bookshelf. This collectible, good, first edition/first printing copy is protected with an archival mylar cover. Satisfaction guaranteed! Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall.…
