Tissue protected frontispiece. Book has edge/extremity scuffing ends of spine wear with the loss of some material. A rather rare book. Bookseller's inventory # 242509.

Store description

LOWER BEVERLEY BETTER BOOKS is a virtual bookstore operated from a retired teacher's home on the shores of Lower Beverley Lake. It just 'grew' from an interest in antiques,an inability to bypass yard sales and a drive to keep books alive and out of landfill.
