Sobre este artículo
Marbled boards slightly rubbed; first 7 sheets and last 3 sheets are foxed. Marbled end papers and all edges: 5 raised bands, gold titles on skivers. A Mossel Bay library copy with all labels, stamps & numbers removed except gold stamp on spine. Frontis with foxed tissue guard; I can see only one chromo-lithograph plate but there might be others. Internally only 4 pages show foxing - therefore appears unread. The title p states "Second Edition" but probably means Second Impression - there is no printing history and the date is the same as the 1st Edn. 26 Chapters of which 7 are on Military matters. A very handsome copy. Please enquire about the other 2 vols.

Soft-covers and hard-covers without Dj s are covered in adhesive plastic. While we have neither insects nor dampness in our shop, you might find that the total plastic cover keeps both at bay. Covering the whole book means that the common edge-wear described by so many dealers is mostly absent in our books. Any "plastic" is easily removable, it is not adhered to the book nor to the dust jacket. We do not use sellotape nor any other tape which discolours. We restore books where necessary and describe ONLY EXCEPTIONS to a perfect state. Faults in expensive books are described in huge detail. WHEN RESTORED the majority of "faults'' are visible only with great difficulty and certainly NOT in an image. To avoid misleading you we include few images. Please be guided by the very full descriptions. If no faults are described in a cheaper book, please be guided by the Condition. RESTORATION SERVICE.
