This beautiful vintage edition of Headmistress Hilary by Kathlyn Rhodes was published by James Nisbet & Co Ltd in 1914.
The book is bound in blue cloth with stunning art nouveau detail to the front board and spine. It's in very good condition, with just light wear to the corners and crushing to the bottom corners. There is foxing and marking to the text block edges, and crushing to the spine ends. There is a small spot to the gilt on the spine.
Inside, the pages have age toning and scattered foxing but the text is clear and bright. There are occasional cracks to the gutter but the pages remain tightly bound.
Dimensions approximately 20cm x 14cm x 4cm.
All books purchased will be hand wrapped in patterned wallpaper and string.
I'm gradually switching over to eco-friendly packaging, including 100% recyclable jiffy bags :)
