Handsomely produced collection of Thackeray jottings and short essays each with his own illustrations. Introduction and notes provided by his daughter Anne. Two coloured plates, though most black and white, with red overprinting in the 'Playing Cards' section. This copy hasn't yet fully suffered the binding issue common to this edition, though pages are beginning to loosen. Apart from that, all in VG internal order and bar a little toning, pages are remarkably clean. Endpapers more heavily toned and foxed. Gilt to top edge of block. In original quarter leather with printed paper covered boards. These rather grubby and marked and showing some wear to edges and corners. Gilt titling to spine, worn top and bottom. Scarce in original form. Folio. Unpaginated.

Store Description

Formerly known as Journobooks, our original speciality was books about journalism, journalists, newspapers, magazines and other media (hence the old name) and we still have a great stock of hard-to-find books in that field. Over time we have added a wide variety of other collectible gems some of which we sell on behalf of the charity Friends of Morston Church (reg.1099831). Our goal is to offer the best value for money on Abebooks, ie. the lowest price for the condition of the book. We love buying and selling books, so will try to make your buying experience as easy and pleasant as possible.
