About this Item

Type: Z 1440, 16 (ads)pp. 1901 reprint. 'New edition revised, corrected and enlarged'. Stated 117th thousand. No inscriptions. A frontispiece of the author. This book has been re-bound in the original casing with new endpapers. The four cloth corners are now morocco leather so will last a lot longer and somewhat unusually there is a strip of the same leather to strengthen the spine edge. The leading edge appears dyed, but probably not by the original printer/binder so this may have been done when the book underwent some renovations. Either way, it is not done very well with a strip of ink/dye to the lower edge. The dye in no way affects the margins of the pages. One gathering where some pages were closed has been forced open at some point with small chips and very short tears to the margins of a relatively few pages. No loss of text. A good or good plus copy. Seller Inventory # 240475

Store Description

Trumpington Fine Books Limited has been in business for a number of years. We specialize in all books of distinction whether they be modern collectable first editions, monographs or books of reference, fine bindings or antiquarian. Or just simple affordable books, which we believe are of merit. We focus on describing our books thoroughly and aim to make each customer satisfied with their purchase. 'What it says on the tin'....is what should be in the tin. We also take great care in the packaging of our books - we virtually never have a complaint about books being damaged in transit and we aim to uphold this - despite the fact that it is considerably more expensive on time and materials (and thus money) to pack books well. We try and make our books as affordable as possible and we recognize that times are hard. We have many repeat customers and we are delighted to have them as they only confirm the above. On the rare occasion that things do go wrong, we will try very hard to rectify any problems. We are able to bulk purchase through Royal Mail and aim to make no money out of postage - in point of fact, after taking into account the cost of packaging materials, we take a loss on postage - all our discounts are passed on to the customer. In our business we will endeavour to always uphold the customer. So in short, buy with confidence! Testimonial from Jose in Spain who recently bought some books from us : THE BOOKS HAVE ARRIVED IN PERFECT ORDER AND WITH THE EXPECTED QUALITY. YOU PACK FOR WAR! THANK YOU. LOOK FORWARD TO DEALING WITH YOU AGAIN SOON. BEST WISHES JOSE and we look forward to his next point of contact with us.
