This lovely edition of A Choice of Songs by Rudyard Kipling was published by Methuen and Co Ltd in 1925. The book features a stunning orange leather binding, with intricate decoration in black and gilt to the front and spine.
It's in very good condition but there is some wear to the board edges and spine ends, with minor loss to the leather at the head of the spine. The spine is lightly sunned and there is light marking and bumping to the boards.
Inside, there are no inscriptions. The pages are clean and bright with scattered foxing.
Dimensions approximately 17.5cm x 11.5cm x 1.3cm.
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).
