A Guide to the Best Historical Novels and Tales

London, England: Elkin, Mathews & Marrot, 1929. Fifth Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. Annotated list of 2392 historical & semi-historical novels from the pre-Christian era through the 19th century, in 424 pages, with Bibliography, Author/Title/Subject indices. Orig. published in 1902, this is the Fifth Edition, "revised, enarged, rearranged, & mostly rewritten" from Apr. 1929. Condition is solidly VG: very clean, binding strong & straight, pages mildly tanned, commensurate with age. Not ex-lib. Worst flaw, & it is mostly an annoyance, is underlining & marginalia in light pencil throughout the entire book. Other surface flaws: modest corner bumping, rubbing to extremities. No DJ (likely issued without one). A lovely feature is a sewn-in wooden book mark from the publisher, which has left 2 heavily tanned spots in the front matter (see photo 3).Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have!
