Sobre este artículo
London, Paris, New York & Melbourne: Cassell & Company, 1889. This is a Very Good (minus) copy of the First Edition. Red cloth decorative binding with two Georgian figures in black on the front cover. Clean text; four pages of publisher's adverts, followed by 16 that are unpaginated. This copy has the correction on page 41; fourteen "Uniform" titles listed opposite the half-title. Previous-owner initials on half-title, dated 1889. Internally this is a strong Very Good; however externally it is a bit on the heavily-used side: bumped corners, some creasing, mildly cocked, darkened spine. Not too bad, but heavily soiled, making it seem grubby. This is a solid Reading Copy, but not for the advanced collector. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. First Edition.. Decorative Cloth. Very Good Minus/No Jacket.
