Item description from seller

This very large, very heavy two-volume set is bound in full red leather. Matching covers are ornamented in gilt tooled decoration. Spines are stamped in gilt lettering and bear twelve raised bands. All edges gilt. Marbled endpapers in dark blue, green, and yellow color tones. Illustrated with full paged engraved plates, eleven in Volume I (including frontispiece); ten plates in Volume II. Text is dual columned. Volume I is Genesis through Solomon's Song. Volume II is Isaiah through Revelation and includes Notes to the first volume and new testament in three columns at the back. Both volumes unpaginated. Each measures 15" tall x 11.75" wide. On a shelf, this set spans 5 inches. ESTC: T95048. Herbert 1399. CONDITION: Cover shows overall wear and discoloration. Inner hinges have cracked, yet boards are firmly attached and the binding is solid. Occasional dampstain, yet text and illustrations are largely unaffected. Volume I contains a full page of handwritten family records on the front flyleaf of the family of William Marriott (not ancestors of the hotel family) in dipped ink, the earliest date being 1807. Leaves have lightly toned with only occasional discoloration or marking. Engravings are magnificent. A lovely heirloom-quality set. At over 22 lbs. with shipping materials, due to this set's size and weight, an additional shipping charge will apply. Full refund if not satisfied.…

Store description

Since 2005, Shelley and Son Books has been passionate about books, and preserving their importance for current and future generations. We believe that virtue and beauty have a close relationship. By reading we gain knowledge. In knowledge we find things that inform our choices and beliefs. Therefore, as booksellers, we see that books have an aesthetic value and a heuristic value. We specialize in The Inklings, primarily "The Seven'": C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Dorothy Sayers, G. K. Chesterton, George MacDonald, Owen Barfield and Charles Williams. A sub-specialty is our significant collection of Christian Theology. But you'll also find works across the centuries, first editions, signed copies, and even modern books, too, across a broad selection of categories and genres. Customer service is of utmost importance to us, and our friendly staff is always happy to help. We assure our clients books of quality, as each copy is carefully graded and shipped with care. Located in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, we can be found on Main Street in Hendersonville, North Carolina, (just south of Asheville). We are primarily an online bookstore, but we invite you to make an appointment for an on-site visit! Shelley and Son Books is owned by Stan Shelley. …
