This lovely edition of The Poems of William Winter was published by James Osgood and Company in 1881. It's bound in dark green cloth with pretty floral decoration and lettering in gilt to the front board and spine. Top edge gilt.
It's in very good condition but the book does show a forward lean and there is a dent to the bottom corners. The board edges show light shelf wear and the spine is slightly darkened, with crushing to the spine ends.
Inside, the pages show light age toning and occasional spotting but the text is clear and bright. There are no inscriptions.
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).
