Item description from seller

Pagination runs thusly": v, plus unpaginated preliminaries including a fullpage photoportrait of W. Friese Greene, 271, 40p. [ads and index]. Text was printed on good paperstock (ads on acidic stuff), untrimmed foredge, a nice production that is cased into 5.5x9 inch green cloth boards lettered in gilt. Cover quite worn and rubbed, cover titling plain enough but spine titling just barely legible. Extremities slightly wrinkled with a little fray; inside, whatever was on the first leaf has been torn out, leaving a stub and exposing hinge-network. Thus the first leaf one sees is the half-title, which is somewhat foxed. Then a bound-in errata slip, then the title-page with a complex frontispiece facing it, followed by Publisher's Foreword and Author's Historical Preface. Text consists of 271p., and finally forty pages of ads combined with a substantial index. There is a narrow gap at the Author's History. A pretty good copy -- but largely preserved in handleable order by what binders call a "tightback" treatment": glue is poured down the "tunnel" formed by cover and left-hand margin of textblock, The tunnel disappears, of course. This instance was expertly done, and is almost unnoticeable. We see no anomalies that hint at anything like a lost leaf or other damage. Item is sound (discussed above), clean textually, and unmarked in any way.…
