Beschreibung

This is a very rare book. I couldn't find an original or antiquarian edition for sale anywhere on the Internet. Even Worldcat doesn't seem to have a copy. I think there is one seller who appears to be advertising an 1847 copy published by J.R. Smith, but when you look into the details it turns out he has a 'facsimile reprint by Burt Franklin, undated but circa 1968'. My book may or may not be from 1847. If it was only published once, then 1847 it is. But the publisher is A. Reader from London and I'm not finding a date. It has the look and feel of a book almost certainly published in the 19th century, which isn't to say that it is bad condition. In fact, I've rated the condition Very Good Minus, taking into account its age. You can see the covers in the photographs. They are pretty clean. Note how bright the gilt lettering on the front cover and spine is. Wear is pretty much limited to the spine ends where there is, as you can see, a little loss. The interior of the book is in nice condition. The pages are very clean. No one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. There aren't any markings or attachments. While most of the pages seem tightly bound there are two instances where a gathering of pages is bound along only part of the spine. These are pages 9-16 and 35-38. In neither case are the pages detached, but there is risk that could occur in the future. Take a look at the photographs. I think this quite a special offering. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 001431
