Beschreibung

6 1/2" x 9 1/8", 276 pp., green cloth with gilt title and debossed lines (tooling). A handsome volume in Very Good condition, now protected with a mylar cover. Comprehensive history of the Gloucester (Mass.) Fire Department to 1893 (which is curious in that the volume was published in 1892). Boards have some bumping and wear at the corners (one corner slightly worn through) and at the spine ends; there is a two-inch tear in the cloth but in a fortunate location (the inside edge of the gutter of the backstrip at the back side of the book; hardly noticeable with the mylar cover). The binding is quite sound, no issues there. Internally very good with some occasional foxing; oddly the first page of the introduction became detached, probably many years ago, because now the edges of that one page are worn and chipped from sticking out (though the page can fit flush with the other pages). Despite these flaws this remains a handsome copy of a scarce title. [see photo, which is without mylar cover]. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 01655v
