hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Publication: Pinner, Middlesex, Private Libraries Association, 1973 Formatting: 8vo, pp. 25, xxix, 140, plus 12 leaves of plates. Condition Report: Near Fine. The book is beautifully preserved and protected within a clear, unattached sleeve. The original red cloth boards are exceptionally bright and clean, showing no discernible rubbing, fading, or bumping to the extremities. The spine features crisp, unoxidised gilt lettering and decorative borders that remain perfectly striking. The binding is entirely tight and square, with no evidence of lean or slackness. The page block edges display merely the faintest hint of uniform age-toning, remaining clean and entirely free of foxing or spotting. Internally, the text block is pristine, bright, and untouched by previous wear or extraneous markings, constituting a superb, collector-quality copy. Catalogue Note: This volume is a limited 1973 photolithographic reprint published by the Private Libraries Association, with the print run restricted to 1,750 copies, of which only 750 were made available for public sale. It faithfully reproduces Faxonâs foundational 1912 bibliography while vastly enriching the original text through the addition of supplementary essays and new material by Eleanore Jamieson and Iain Bain. The book stands as an essential reference text for understanding the binding styles, illustrative practices, and cultural impact of nineteenth-century publishing. During the nineteenth century, the 'literary annual' and 'gift book' emerged as a phenomenally popular publishing phenomenon, distinguished by their ornate, often gaudy bindings, exquisite steel engravings, and contributions from leading authors of the day. Designed to be presented as keepsakes, these volumes offer a fascinating window into Victorian aesthetics and literary tastes. Frederick W. Faxonâs exhaustive bibliography provides a meticulously detailed catalogue of these elaborate publications spanning from 1823 to 1903. Augmented with insightful essays by Eleanore Jamieson and Iain Bain, this 1973 limited edition stands as an indispensable reference for bibliophiles, historians of the book trade, and collectors of nineteenth-century literature and bindings.
