About This Item
Limited edition from 100 Greatest Books ever written, Very Good, bound in full genuine maroon leather with 24k gold lettering and decorative embossing, gold edged acid free papers, sewn-in gold silk ribbon bookmark, silk moiré endpapers, raised bands. There is a small section in the front endpaper fold where you can feel the binding under the pastedown - there is no evidence of any liquid or humidity damage, but it's worth mentioning, because you can feel it if you press for it. Gilded top and bottom edges, gilt decoration on boards and spine is flawless. Lovely illustrations.
