Description
You are bidding on a very rare antiquarian hardcover book titled The Poetical Works of Sir Walter Scott, Bart. Complete in One Volume, With All His Introductions and Notes, Also, Various Readings, and the Editor's Notes, Elegantly Illustrated. Published by Oliver S. Felt. There is no publishing date present, but I estimate it dates from around 1850. This is quite a nice book! Book is fully bound in brown leather with gold lettering on cover and spine. The leather binding is stamped with lovely designs. The spine features five raised bands. The covers are firmly attached with no cracking or splitting of hinges. The inside edge of covers have intricate decorative gilt border. The pages are very clean and tightly bound. This is a thick book of 840 pages. The full page engravings are protected by tissue guards. Has decorative endpages. The outside edges of pages have bright gilt edge. There is no writing in book and no signs of previous ownership. The book shows a bit of wear to cover tips/edges and remains in very good condition. It is clear to see that this book has been well taken care of over the years. This is a lovely and collectible book! Would make a nice addition to a collection. Great gift idea! (Inventory: 1517) Track Page Views With Auctiva's FREE Counter
