Hardcover. Condición: Fair / Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: No Dustjacket. One inch thick. This is a difficult book to describe as it appears to be a bound together set of short plays (some one act plays even) - by the looks of the paper and printing it looks early 19th century. I have photographed all the title pages and uploaded them as photographs. I can supply pictures of the title pages I didn't have room to upload on this listing. The hardback binding comprises a plain leather(?) spine which is rubbed, scratched and has pieces missing to the top - the spine-junctions are a darker brown which suggests the spine has been sun-faded to a chipped, lighter brown. There is a short piece of scribble to top right of front board. The page-edges are rough-cut and browned and the page-margins are lightly browned but are clean and tidy. Amongst the plays are unrelated contents pages and some reviews of actors and there are rather crudely coloured-in plates.
