About This Item

London: Samuel Bagster, 1808. Seventh edition (first Bagster ed.). Hardcover. Near fine. Octavo (22cm); full crushed dark brown morocco by Zaehnsdorf, spines in six compartments, with five raised bands, gilt-tooled border and decorative corner pieces to covers; titling and salmon devices stamped in gilt in spine compartments; top edge gilt; hunter green silk doublures and endpapers with gilt dentelles; [ii],vi,7-512pp, with engraved half-title, portrait frontispiece, and engraved plates by Philip Audinet. Gentle sunning to spine, some trivial wear to board edges, with a hint of offsetting opposite several plates, and a discreet repaired tear to lower margin of p.55; Near Fine, with the text fresh and wide-margined. According to the University of Pittsburgh, which houses an extensive collection of 19th century editions of the Angler, this first edition published by Samuel Bagster was "the earliest attempt at an exact reprint of the 1653 edition." As such, more than an attractive binding, but also a significant edition of a cornerstone of English sporting books.

About Cleveland Book Company

We are proud members of the ABAA.

As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
