Description
Extremely rare true first edition of Thomas Bailey Aldrich's "Story of a Bad Boy." The story was originally published in serial format in "Our Young Folks: An Illustrated Magazine for Boys and Girls" in 1869. This copy consists of that original publication (including only the Story of a Bad Boy content), bound in fine full leather binding. Top of textblock is gilded. The book contains the entire text in the original twelve installments. The boards and binding are in great condition. The interior pages have some browning and minor soiling on a few pages but in good and readable condition. Foxing on end papers. Very small tear on one page. Photos are representative of the condition.

Used book was purchased on an offer. It was very good price even considering the shipping cost from the USA. The seller communicated very well. He must have sent the book quickly as it arrived in only 11 days. It was VERY well packaged. The description proved accurate and well worth the shipping cost. Excellent! I would recommend and use again.
