Full-Leather. Condizione: Fair +. No Jacket. Revised Edtion. 440 pgs. Extremely Rare, in fact, when this was listed it was the only one that I could find with this date on published in Ithaca! Measures 6 & 1/8" high x 5 & 1/4" wide. HC full leather book is in fair + shape, spine is marked "Cobb's Walker" in faded gilt font. Leather is soiled, hardened and deformed on covers, swelled at page edges. No cover rips or tears, but is bumped at spine ends and corners. Missing several pages including feps and title page, and probably the last page or two of text, as the "Z" section only lists one item! Rear ep has several po names written in. Although the publisher is not specified on the remaining pages, the town of "Ithaca" and the 1829 date are. Based on my research, I am pretty certain that it was published by Mack, Andrus, & Woodruff. It is not a first edtion, as it mentions numerous earlier publications in the preface. Pages are heavily foxed with some water stains, and have some small rips and some folds along the front page edge, The front hinge is starting to go, rear hinge is a little better, but still loose. Book sits and stands nicely, and displays well. No odors or mildew damage, no other markings. No DJ. Size: 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall. N/A (illustratore).…
