About This Item
London: T. Fisher Unwin, 1895. Red cloth with colourful flower decs to spine and front. Spine very lightly sunned and bumped, some very light rubbing and marks to rear board and also a slight crease to the cloth which looks like it was perhaps a fault in the cloth at the time of binding. Front board clean and bright. Endpapers browned and some of the pages have been roughly cut, very occasional small smudge mark to page edge, otherwise contents are clean and tight. Overall a very tidy copy of this first edition.. First Edition. Cloth. Very Good. 12mo.
