About This Item
San Francisco, CA Pomegranate Art Books, 1995. Hardcover First Edition [1995], so stated. First Edition [1995], so stated. Very Good+ to Near Fine: shows only the most minute indications of use: shows very mild rubbing to the lamination; a former owner's gift inscription at the the reverse side of the front free endpaper; a light touch of wear to the lower corner tips. The binding leans ever so slightly, but remains perfectly secure; the text is clean. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of underlining, hi-lighting, notations, or marginalia. A handsome, nearly-new copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing minor, unobtrusive imperfections. Bright and clean. Corners sharp. Very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 16mo. (6.6 x 5 x 0.3 inches). 64 pages. Profusely illustrated in color. Decorated Endpapers. Language: English. Weight: 5.6 ounces. Published in association with The British Library. Hardcover: Quarter-cloth Pictorial Laminate Boards. The history, artistic and stylistic development, meaning, and significance of the seventh-century English illuminated manuscript is discussed in detail.
