Riguardo questo articolo

708 + 668pp Note 3 issues were not bound in, and a further 4 have faults - so about 45 issues completely correct, see details below. One of the more sought after years of this publication because of it's coverage of The American Civil War, The block is completely detached from the cover but the block is still well bound together from the first title page to the end. Apart from some minor age staining, mainly to edges of pages, the interior is generally in nice clean condition with just occasional expected useage marks. About 3 or 4 of the Fashion engravings have been nicely coloured in (see example in pics attached). The occasional page has an odd small tear but nothing severe. Wear to extremeties of cover. No colour plates present. Gilt titling to spine. Huge number of superb engravings. Ideal for a rebind - probably as 2 separate volumes - the current cover has childish scribbling in crayon on the inside boards.Faults: In vol 42 issue of Jan 31 not present, pages 283-286 not present (but text from 282 continues without anything missing on page 287), pages 309-324 of March 21st issue missing (possibly a Royal Wedding Supplement) although the single-sided double page spread is present but out of sequence, In Vol 43 issue of Aug 15th some pages out of sequence, first 2 sheets of Aug 22nd have a 4 x 1 inch piece torn off edge losing a few words, First 2 issues of Oct missing. Nothing appears to have been removed from this book, this is how it was originally bound. Large & heavy tome - Weighs about 7 kg, additional P&P will be applicable - substsantial for overseas, PLEASE contact me for a quote before purchasing.
