This lovely edition of Twenty Poems by Rudyard Kipling was published by Methuen and Co in 1918. The book is bound in full leather with beautiful floral decoration to the front cover.
It's in very good condition with the main flaw being the fading and discolouration to the spine. The boards are slightly bowed and there is light wear to the edges and corners.
Inside, there is a bookseller's sticker to the bottom of the front pastedown. The pages have light age toning but are otherwise clean and bright. There is a written inscription opposite the half title page.
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).
