· Production

… and more …
The book measures 8.75 inches 5.5 inches x 1.25 inches.
The 265 pages are nice and neat and a little faded with age, with foxing near the rims. The binding is very good with no loose or missing pages.
There are NO inscriptions and NO other ink or pencil markings in the book.
The original hardback cover with armorial decoration is in good condition for its age, with wear mainly to the bottom corners, and is grubby/faded.
A fascinating SCARCE vintage edition – the starting price is just ONE PENNY, with NO RESERVE, and I WILL SELL to the highest bidder.
I am more than happy to combine shipping on multiple purchases and cost will be determined on the total weight of your wins (see below for costs and full details).
