This beautiful edition of A Cyclopaedia of Poetical Quotations was published by Longman, Brown, Green and Roberts in 1861. It's bound in full leather with gilt decoration and five raised bands to the spine. All edges gilt, and inner dentelles.
The book is in very good condition with light wear the board edges and corners; There is also minor scuffing and marking to the boards; the spine is sunned.
Inside, there are no inscriptions and the pages show light age toning and occasional foxing. The tissue guard for the frontispiece is detached.
Dimensions of the book are approximately 17.2cm x 11.3cm x 4.2cm.
Every book purchased will be 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 biodegradable and the clear bubble wrap is 100% recyclable. I also reuse boxes when I feel it's appropriate (if the boxes are sturdy enough).
