Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. *** EXTRA POSTAGE WILL APPLY TO THIS BOOK BECAUSE OF ITS WEIGHT. *** This is a UK hardcover of this title published by Raithby, Lawrence & Co., Ltd, London in 1896. The photos show the condition better than I can describe but overall I believe it to be in Very Good condition for its age. The book has a straight spine, with sharp corners but rubbed and firm spine ends, which are also rubbed. There is the beginning of a split along the outside seam but the book is still tightly bound and intact. The page edges are toned but the interior pages are clean and the book is illustrated throughout in black and white and colour.
