hardcover. Condición: Good. First Edition. Publication: London, Frank Hollings, 1897 Formatting: 8vo, pp. xv, 224. Condition Report: Good. The original maroon buckram binding remains secure but displays the expected wear of an average used late-nineteenth-century volume. The spine is heavily sunned, fading from its original hue to a duller brown, with noticeable chipping and fraying to the cloth at both the head and tail. The front and rear boards exhibit moderate rubbing, scattered scuffs, and bumped corners, though the gilt lettering on the spine remains entirely legible. Internally, the book is quite well-preserved; the binding holds firmly, and the text block is clean, save for typical mild age-toning and occasional light foxing. All pages and leaves are present, retaining their untrimmed fore and bottom edges alongside a darkened gilt top edge. Overall, this is a structurally sound, intact reading and reference copy despite the external cosmetic wear. Catalogue Note: This is a first edition of Harry Buxton Forman's highly regarded bibliographic work on William Morris. Forman, a prominent literary editor and bibliographer, compiled what stood as the standard bibliography of Morris's works for decades, offering critical insight into both Morris's literary output and his pioneering efforts in the allied crafts. The volume features a portrait frontispiece and numerous facsimile reproductions of title pages and woodcuts throughout its text. The interior retains its original format, with deckled edges showcasing the quality of the paper stock. While lacking distinguished historical provenance, the copy holds characteristic traces of passage through the secondhand trade on the endpapers. This specific first printing in the original cloth is an uncommon find on the open market today, remaining a foundational reference for collectors of William Morris and the Kelmscott Press. First published shortly after William Morrisâs death, H. Buxton Formanâs The Books of William Morris Described remains a vital cornerstone for collectors and scholars of the Victorian polymath. This detailed bibliography offers a comprehensive account of Morrisâs prolific output, charting his journey from poetry and prose to his revolutionary contributions in typography and book design at the Kelmscott Press. A fascinating contemporary record, it provides unparalleled insight into the literary and artisanal legacy of one of the nineteenth centuryâs most influential figures. N/A (ilustrador). …

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. This classic library binding of the works of John Keats was specially bound, and although there are areas of damage it remains an elegant and beautifully crafted binding. Half red leather, with hand marbled boards, mean that to do such a binding today would be expensive. To commission this standard today would cost at least five times the price of this one. Fine bindings are highly sought after collectables because they are unique, expressly for those seeking books that are built to last. Such books impart a refined impression to a home. If the book is also a timeless classic, as this certainly is, it becomes a permanent keepsake. These gorgeous books are made to last for centuries. The actual copy used here is not valuable, but it is rendered collectable by the craftsman who took such trouble to bind it. There is a neat owner signature and some minor damage, to the book itself as well as the leather binding. But this is certainly an attractive addition to anyone's Keats collection.
