This beautiful vintage edition of A Knight of the 19th Century by Rev E P Roe was published by James Nisbet & Co Ltd. The book is undated but I've seen this binding on other books with inscriptions and they usually date between 1905 and 1912.
The book is bound in pink cloth with stunning art nouveau floral decoration to the front board and spine. It's in very good condition with only light wear to the corners and minor bumping to the board edges. There are some minor marks to the boards and light rubbing to the spine. The spine ends are crushed.
Inside, there is tanning to the pages with with occasional minor marks. The bottom of page 17 is creased.
Dimensions approximately 20cm x 14cm x 4.5cm.
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).
