Montaigne And Other Essays Carlyle, Thomas

Most items will be dispatched the same or the next working day. An acceptable condition book. An extremely rare Large Paper Edition of which only 75 were printed, this being number 58. An ex-library copy with a smaller amount of stamps, relegated to the pastedowns and endpapers. The boards and spine are extremely worn, scuffed and dust-darkened, with most of the spine cover absent and the remainder consistently frayed and discoloured. A crack in the hinge beside the front board. The pastedowns, endpapers and textblock edges are heavily foxed with notable marks. The preliminaries have been handled. The main body of text redeems this copy with pages that are often clean and are consistently bright, with a pleasant lack of a tan and crisp and unfaded print. The binding between the pages is fairly firm. The pages are untrimmed and while this copy is for reading and reference only in it's current shape it has good potential for rebinding.
