About This Item
At The Blew Anchor In The Lower Walk Of The New Exchange, London: H. Herringman, 1676. Hardback. Very Good. First ‘Englished’ edition, 1676, with full leather binding. In overall very good used condition with only minor signs of age, handling and storage - brown leather boards, with embossed decoration, gilt tooling to edges and five raised bands and red gilt title label to spine, are slightly rubbed but remain in particularly good condition. Binding tight and seems almost unread - appears to have been professionally re-backed at some time in the past. Internally clean, no annotation, inscriptions or foxing - two ownership signatures neat to title page; page-ends tanned but text bright and clear throughout. The book measures - l:170mm, w:110mm, 422pp and is a handsome copy indeed. Photographs available. Not an old library book.
