Stevenson, Robert Louis - Poems

A limited edition, one of 500, still in the original plain brown wrapper. Florence Press edition, printed on large paper.

WRAPPER : The wrapper is bright and complete. The spine is a touch toned. There is scuffing to the spine ends. There is a 3cm split along the bottom edge of the front inner flap and there is a 2cm closed tear to the front panel. There are a few pen marks to the rear panel and a few spots of water damage to the front panel. Looks sharp for a 120 year old wrapper ! Now in a protective wrapper.

BOOK : The book is tight and square. Bound in full paper vellum with gilt borders, detailing to the spine and gilt upper edge. There is minor bumping to the extremities and a few small scuffs to the boards. The page edges are uncut and the top edge gilt. The binding remains firm. The pages are clean. The uncut closed page edges are occasionally spotted, the top edge is a trifle dusty. No inscriptions. A decent copy.
