About this Item
This is only Volume 2 in what I believe to be a two volume set (Holly Edition) of Knickerbocker's history of New York by Washington Irving. On the inside front cover it says that the set was limited to 1000 copies and this is number 374. I wouldn't normally place one of two volumes for sale but this 123-year-old book is in such good shape that it seemed worth the trouble. You can see the covers in the photographs so I'll refrain from a detailed description. The corners are a little faded but not rubbed through and the front top right-hand corner has a minor spot of soiling. The top edge is gilt. The binding of the book is extremely solid. The interior of the book is in remarkable condition. Leafing through, I don't see any soiling, not even on either side of the many white blank end papers, front and rear. The frontispiece has a tissue guard that shows no aging at all. There is absolutely no foxing anywhere in this book. The illustrations page lists 84 titled illustrations. All of the illustrations appear to be in excellent condition. There aren't any markings in the book. This is NOT an ex-library book. No one has written their name or anything else on any page. The only imperfection is minor, a group of five or so top right-hand corners got a little squinched leaving behind a few tiny creases there. Seller Inventory # 000910
