About This Item
Paris: Garnier Freres, 1880. Hardcover. Very good. Folio, 2 volumes, complete. A very good set, bound in the publisher's red cloth, decorated in gilt. Spines of both volumes rebacked in black calf, with original spines laid down. New endpapers. Spines gently cocked, some curling to the fore-edges of the thin boards, and there is mild internal foxing; generally more severe towards the front and back of each volume. A perfectly example of this massive set, often found in significant disrepair.

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.
