About This Item
Boston: Ticknor and Fields, 1865. Book. Very Good Plus. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. Original purple cloth, faded to beige on the spine. Gilt title still bright and the binding is unrubbed. A hint of wear at one corner, and bit of cloth gone at both spine ends. Now protected in a clear mylar sleeve. Inside, the endpapers are pristine, with no prior owner marks. Hinges are fine. The paper block is excellent, with no stains, no browning or foxing. The 24 pages of ads at the back are dated December 1864. Overall very good plus, a copy ready to be read for Thoreau's observations after several trips to Cape Cod. .
