About This Item
Edited by A.T. Quiller-Couch, illustrated, published by Cassell and Company, Ltd, London, Paris, New York and Melbourne, 1904. This 392 page hardback book is bound in pictorial red cloth and is in fair to poor ondition. The front cover is attractive but corners are bumped, edges are very worn, and the backstrip is starting to split and will come away from the spine eventually. I cant be certain this is a first edition but I believe it is. I searched 150 million books and I couldnt find a single copy of this book anywhere in the world. It is a rare book.
