Curiosities of Literature by I. D'Israeli
1871. New Edition. 582 pages. No dust jacket. This is an ex-Library book. Green cloth with gilt lettering and patterning. Library copy, with expected inserts and inscriptions. Gilded page edges. Light thumb marking, foxing and tanning to pages. More prominent to text block edges, pastedowns and free endpapers. Moderate cracking to gutters and hinges, exposing netting and causing some looseness to binding but pages remain attached. Boards have minor corner bumping and edgewear with mild tanning and scuffing overall. Spine has heavier tanning with soft splitting, fraying and crushing to ends. Lettering remains bright and clear. Book has a slight forward lean.
