About This Item
Boston: Jefferson Press. Very Good-. 1912. Three-Quarter Leather. The leather on all 6 volumes is very good although one volume has a small scuff at the spine tip and a second volume has a scuff in the center spine about 1/3 of the way down. The paper covering the boards in very good on the surfaces but is uniformly quite worn on the edges. The text is clean and bright, bindings are tight. One dog-earred page. Top edges and titles gilt. Occasional uncut pages -- lots of unread material. A pretty set on the shelf. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .
