Cream Wraps over Boards. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fair.

Done into type for Thomas B. Mosher and published by him at Portland Maine in the month of November Anno Domini MDCCCV." Cover is a cream paper wrapper that can be taken off the boards, book edges are decaled and darkened to a tan color, as are the outside of the boards covered by the paper covers; contents are nearly foxing-free, page color is as white as published, despite edge darkening; a vertical hinge-bound strip of paper between xiv xv darkens the hinge 0.5 inch either side; owner's pencil message is written on the front flyleaf; frontispiece is lightly darkened and is the title page opposite; there is also some pencil marks in the text, mainly on page 157-158 and 184, a few words underlined, and some marks in the margin--otherwise, book is in nice condition. Dj is made of thinner paper that has darkened to a tan color and has lost area at the two upper fold corners and at the dj spine ends (about 2 sq. in. total); title print on spine is plain; paper is a bit fragile on mid spine where thumbed, but otherwise is doing its job.
