This beautiful edition of A Houseful of Girls by Mrs George de Horne Vaizey was published by the Religious Tract Society. The book itself isn't dated but I'd estimate it to be circa 1910.
The book is bound in green cloth with stunning decoration to the front board and spine. It's in very good condition with light wear to the corners and a slight forward lean to the book. The text block edges show pronounced foxing and the spine is lightly sunned, with crushing to the spine ends.
Inside, there is a presentation plate glued to the front free endpaper. The pages show light age toning and scattered foxing throughout (the foxing is most significant to the preliminary and end pages of the book). There are also occasional cracks to the gutter but the pages remain tight to the binding.
Dimensions approximately 19cm x 13cm x 3.8cm.
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).
