As noted on the front cover this volume is part of a series; 'The Writings of Harriet Beecher Stowe'. Dark green cloth covered cover boards, with the title and author name in gold on the spine and front cover. Nice vintage design on the front cover. No dust jacket. Mild edge wear throughout, corners are just slightly bumped inward. All lettering and design elements on the spine and front cover are intact and legible. Top to bottom vertical crack in the binding at the first flyleaf, so the binding is a bit loose at the front of the book, though all text pages are intact. Former owner's name at the top of the first flyleaf page. No further writing besides that though. Frontispiece illustration of the book's main character, Mara, is intact and retains its tissue protective sheet. Top edge gilt is intact. Untrimmed, deckle edges of the text signatures.Edges of the text block are relatively clean considering the age of the book. This copy is not a library discard copy. The attached photos are of the copy we have in our inventory.
