What Our Customers Say...

Description

Illustrated

A compilation of obscure information regarding old books, including rare works, typography, libraries, maps, manuscripts, and forgeries. Widely illustrated, with headpieces, tailpieces, and plates. An expansive and detailed work, relevant to contemporary and modern readers alike. With facsimilies and clippings at the rear, this book provides further points of reference to the reader. This work is an annual compilation of a periodical pamphlet of the same name, also published by Elliot Stock. Direct from the library of the late Hugh Selbourne MD (1906-1973) a noted book collector and diarist.

Condition

In cloth bindings. Externally generally smart, with some loss to the bottom of the spine of volume I. Some splitting to joints with starting to rear joint of volume II and front joint to volume I. Front Joint starting but still firm. Internally, both volumes are firmly bound. Pages generally bright and clean, with spotting to the first few pages of both volumes.
