About This Item
Cover corner tips bumped, some rubbing at top and bottom of spine. Gilt lettering on spine has faded; gilt lettering, medallion and rulled edge on front cover remain bright. Former owners' names written in ink at top of first free fly leaf; each struck out with single thin line. There is no date the title page with 1884 on the copyright page. Interior pages clean and not marred by notes or highlighting; and the spine is undamaged and binding remains tight. This is not an ex-library book, but was donated to the Friends of the Eugene, Oregon, Public Library. We are selling the book to help support library programs for children and adults. Thank you.
