This lovely edition of The Poetical Works of Robert Burns was published by Oxford University Press in 1950. It features a fine half Morocco binding with gilt tooling and three raised bands to the spine. Top edge gilt.
It's in very good condition with the main flaw being the fading and discolouration to the spine and round the edges of the boards. The boards show marking and discolouration, and there is toning to the text block edges.
Inside, the endpapers are marbled and the pages show light age toning throughout.

All books 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 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).
