Añadir al carritoThree Quarter Leather. Condición: Good. 427 pages, gilt edge all around (very shiny!) The block of the book and the binding is secure and sound, not starting. The back strip has separated from the block at the point of the hinges. It's still present, loose, but shows some loss of leather. It could be glued to the back strip but…probably wouldn't be a permanent solution. The cover gilt illustration and lettering is starkly beautiful against the brown pebbled leather. Couldn't find any info on the publisher from Indianapolis; Robert Douglass, Indianapolis, Ind. 1888 is stated at the bottom of the title page. The copyright page states Copyright by M.W. Hazen 1888 At the time, subscription was the modus operandi for the distribution of books. A salesman would present what is known as a saleman's dummy, the rear hinge would have sample strips of the cloth and leather bindings Deluxe. I am thinking that Robert Douglas was the Midwest distributor of the first edition. just a guess. Pretty rare, Deluxe.
