Half-Leather. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Reprint. damaged copy, in that the title page has been removed. The printer, named at the rear, is John Childs and Son, a firm which ceased business in 1876, so I am assuming the publisher is Bentley. There are a couple of illustrations, but this is not the more lavish 1876 edition with the Cruikshank etc illustrations. It is bound in dark morocco, with five raised bands and restrained gilt decoration, all nice and fresh. marbled paper on boards, worn at bottom edge. Text block is generally fine, apart from the vandalism mentioned earlier, but I am offering the book primarily as a nice decorative sample of 19th Century leather binding that will enhance any bookshelf. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
