This beautiful edition of Nature Curious and Beautiful by Richard Kerr was published by the Religious Tract Society. The book itself is undated but there is a written inscription inside dated 1918.
The book is bound in green cloth with a pasted on illustration to the front. It's in very good condition with just light wear and crushing to the corners. The board edges show light rubbing and there is minor marking to the back board. There is faint sunning and marking to the spine, with crushing to the spine ends.
Inside, the pages are clean and bright with occasional handling marks. There is both a penned name and a stamped name to the front free endpaper; on the verso there is also a written inscription. There are occasional cracks to the gutter but the pages remain tightly bound. Dimensions approximately 18.8cm x 12.8cm x 2.3cm.
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).
