This beautiful edition of Utopia by Thomas More was published by The Folio Society in 1973. It still has it's original slipcase.
This vintage book is in remarkably good condition for it's age with the most noticeable flaw being the fading to the spine. There is also bumping to the top corner of the back board. The slipcase shows some minor marking, and there is wear and splitting to the card at the corners.
Inside there are no inscriptions or dedications, and the pages are clean and bright with minimal wear. The book has a slight musty odour when opened.
Dimensions (including slipcase) approximately 26cm x 17cm x 2.2cm.
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 bubbled 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).
