Defoe by James Sutherland
1937. First Edition. 300 pages. No dust jacket. This is an ex-Library book. Red cloth covered boards with gilt. Expected library inserts, stamps and inscriptions. Contains black and white photographic plates. Pages remain clear with minimal tanning and foxing, mild to end-papers and text-block edges. Library plate to both paste-downs. Minor pencil marking to front free end-paper. Ink stamp to reverse of title page and plates. Cracking to gutters, with exposed netting causing the binding to be shaky. Boards have moderate edge-wear with bumping to corners and rubbing to surfaces. Mild crushing to spine ends. Book has a slight forward lean. Sunning to spine and partially to boards. Gilt lettering is darkened.
