Original green cloth bevelled boards with black decorations and gilt titling on the spine and the upper board with a gilt pictorial landscape scene. Dark brown end papers. Frontis portrait with tissue guard. viii prelims, 150 pages, followed by an illustrated catalogue of the publisher's titles. CONDITION DETAILS: The binding has some edge wear, upper hinge cracked, lower hinge starting. There is a library label on the front paste down - see image. Pen gift inscription on front free end paper. There is some foxing and soiling, but the bulk of the text is in reasonable condition.
