About This Item
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1909. Hardcover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. A strong Very Good, and striving hard for Near Fine. See scans and description. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1895 copyright (on copyright page), 1909 publishing (on title page). The Ballads and Other Poems of Robert Louis Stevenson (which includes A Child's Garden of Verses, Underwoods, and Ballads; Volume XVI in the overall Scribner's Stevenson series). Octavo, textured red cloth boards with gilt imprinting on front cover and spine, Top Edge Gilt, uncut fore-edge, frontis with tissue-guard, contents + 359 pp. + 3 blank leaves. Better than Very Good, with just a modestly sunned spine keeping this example out of Near Fine condition. No writing or other besmirchment of the immaculate interior, either. Sharp, handsome and more than deserving of a Very Good Plus rank. Firmly bound. See scans. L20n
