Musical Instrument Collections in the British Isles

127 pp. Tightly bound. Text is free of markings. No ownership markings. NOTE: Inscribed the author to the previous owner on the front end paper. PLEASE NOTE: The reason for the lower "good" rating rather than "very good" is because it looks like there is the beginning of a crease on the spine. This copy is smyth sewn. Smyth sewing is a method of bookbinding where groups of folded pages (referred to as signatures) are stitched together using binder thread. Each folded signature is sewn together individually with multiple stitches and then joined with other signatures to create the complete book block. This is the traditional and best method of bookbinding.
