Item description from seller

Title continues: "Embellished with nearly fourteen hundred crests, Engraved by Robert Kirkwood, from original drawings by G. Sanders and J. Grant" Separate title pages to both volumes pp. xxxvi, 316, 114 plates. Full polished calf binding poor, front board missing, rear board detached, leather chipped with loss to head of spine. Contents good and tight, title page to vol. I. stained to inner margin, as are most pages of the preliminaries. Text good with some general reading wear. Plates good, some general dust soiling/reading wear with associated finger marks, especially to fore-edges, plates 53, 54 & 113 are contemporary hand-drawn facsimiles (or at least near -contemporary), plate 54 torn but complete, some water-staining/paper discoloration to the last fifteen plates or so, a little pencil annotation. This title would appear to be very scarce - only two copies are cited by COPAC. In need of restoration - ideally needs rebinding and a number of the pages and plates washed. The binders and paper restorers we use are excellent and we would be happy to arrange this restoration on your behalf should you wish. Size: 8vo (approx. 14 x 21cm).

Store description

We are taking a break while we re-locate ourselves and business. We move to a peaceful stretch of the River Lynher. We specialise in fine antiquarian and second-hand books with a strong interest in Natural History, particularly the New Naturalist Series. If you come across any issues when searching for a title please contact us via our email loe@loebooks.co.uk or telephone us on 01566 782528. Offers always welcome and given serious consideration. We are not a formal shop but visitors are welcome by appointment. We are situated about 9 miles south of Launceston, close to Bodmin Moor. It is a beautiful part of Cornwall, so even if you do not find the book you are looking for a visit is worthwhile for the countryside alone!
