Description:
The Religious Tract Society. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. Undated, c1891. The original pressed boards are quite shelf rubbed, edge worn and marked, with some tearing and fraying of the cloth along the edges. Despite this, the boards remain strong and sturdy, with the gold gilt to the front and spine still bright. Internally, there is a gift inscription on the verso of the front end page, along with age-related marking and foxing throughout, but there are no other inscriptions, and the pages within are neat and complete with all 24 plates present. The binding is secure. In very good condition indeed, considering the likely age of the book! JK. Our orders are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
