About This Item
New York: Charles Scribner, 1901. First edition. Original Hardcover cloth. Very Good + . W Appleton Clark. This lovely copy and first edition of the Ruling Passion is in very good condition, as expected for a copy that is 115 years young! The book is covered with deep forest green cloth, as the cover and spine have intricate design and print - all in gold gilt. The branches with pine cones look as fresh as the day printed - in addition to the pine cones on the spine that are in neat rows. Some wear noted on edges and spine caps, though inspection shows no markings, writing or underlining within the covers. Page 13 was torn and is presently repaired with fasteners. This one flaw, as well as some binding wear to an otherwise beautiful copy would be a wonderful addition to your library!
