About This Item
LP. HAWTHORNE, Nathaniel. TRANSFORMATION: or, The Romance of Monte Beni. In Two Volumes. Leipzig: Bernhard Tauchnitz, 1860. Probably fourth Tauchnitz edition. The two volumes bound as one (without half titles) in a custom-made Italian vellum binding, blank leaves with pasted on photographs inserted. Some dampstaining to inserted leaves (not to photos), vellum a good deal rubbed and darkened. Still overall a very good, tight copy. (Clark A23.7 and preceding note).
