Sobre este artículo
John C.Nimmo, 1896. 1st Edition. . Book Book Hardcover. Very Good/Good. John C.Nimmo, 1896. 1st Edition . Very Good/Good. A spectacular copy of this spectacular volume, with its 36 tissue-guarded chromo-lithographs. All edges gilt, navy blue pattern cloth with ornate gilt block of Britannia atop her lion, sailor and soldier (but not yet airman). Puce(?)(pale brown-purple) endpapers show where two bookplates have been carefully removed, otherwise the book is very good, almost fine, the spine only being slightly darkened. The spine is dated 1897 at the foot. In original slipcase, worn, the illustrated front-of-box paper darkened but colorful and complete apart from two very small edge losses. The weight would involve extra postage abroad, but we can send to most mainland British addresses free of extra charge. The full price in 1896/7 was seven guineas, the equivalent of around £800 today, though I dare say some were sold more cheaply.

Sobre Scarthin Books ABA, ILAB
Scarthin Books is based in a three-storey, 2000 sq.ft. shop overlooking the millpond which powered Arkwright's world's-first cotton mill in the hamlet of Scarthin in the village of Cromford, Derbyshire on the edge of England's first National Park, the Peak District. Our ABE list comprises only some of our more valuable, fragile or esoteric stock; our main business remains selling new, second-hand and antiquarian books and music over the counter to flesh-and-blood clients. We also house a home-cooking cafe, serving vegetarian (and some vegan and gluten-free) hot and cold dishes and refreshments. The cafe also hosts meetings of the Cafe Philosophique and Conversation Cafe and regular meetings of Amnesty International and Buddhist Meditation groups, as well as occasional book launches and other gigs. With nearly 100,000 titles in stock, we have since 1974 been evolving towards what a bookshop should really be like. You will feel very much at home here. Our hours are 9-6; 10-6 on Sundays (last cafe orders 5.15)and we close only on Christmas and Boxing Days. Our website www.scarthinbooks.com is also fun.
