About This Item
1860. Hardcover. JOSEPH ADDISON AND RICHARD STEELE. COLLECTIBLE HB Very Good No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. 3/4 leather with marbled boards, end papers, and top, bottom and fore edge. The edges, especially cover corners, are worn. There is minimal cracking on spine on Vol III: Vol I is missing part of the Spectator title; the leather inserts for Spectator are missing from Vols II and IV. The binding is tight and the pages are clean. I found minimal foxing. The page facing the title page of volume one had a penciled price with some word below(at 5.50 it was obviously old). I was able to erase the price but part of the words did not erase easily, so I left it as is.
