Book
Half Leather. Condition: Very Good. Maps and Numerous Black and White Illustrations (illustrator). Volume 8. Half leather, publishers binding of raised bands and gilt lettering on spine. All lettering clear, some wear to edges, strongly bound. Constitutes the first hardbound edition of part of The Bostonians, (this book including Chapters 15-29), prior to the 1886 first printing of the "first separate edition". One may thus obtain the true first, hardbound, at a tiny fraction of the price of the later separate edition, and in half-leather too (along with a lot of other interesting material).
