This listing is for an antique German book, published in 1905. It’s a pretty binding and the text inside is wonderfully ornate - much more gothic in style than the standard British types.
It’s in very good condition, but the cloth does show some fading in places and the corners are rubbed. The spine is lightly darkened, whilst crushing to the spine ends has caused minor splitting in the cloth.
Inside, the pages show light age toning throughout and there is a name written in pencil on the front free endpaper. The front pastedown also has an old written price.
The book will arrive hand wrapped in patterned wallpaper and string.
I use a range of eco friendly, 100% recyclable jiffy bags and boxes, and whenever possible I use brown paper tape. The green bubble wrap is oxo-degradable and the clear bubble wrap is 100% recyclable. I also reuse boxes when I feel it's appropriate (if the boxes are sturdy enough).
