About This Item
A nice copy of Mary Oldfield Howey's examination of the status of the cat in religion and magic over time. Undated but assumed 1929-1930. Pages are overwhelmingly clean and bright, just with spotting on FEP and some slight residue of a damp stain(?) which has left the colour frontis marginally stained at top and a little unstuck at base. However colour picture is still bright and clean (see photo). Residue stain on top of text block (see photo). All other pages very bright and clear, and no inscriptions from previous owners present. Original purple book mark strip is present and intact. Binding is firm. Boards are a little scuffed and are marked (see photos)with some blotches, and the spine a bit darkened. Overall though a clean and tight copy of this scarce edition. See photos which are as ever of the actual copy for sale.
