The book is bound in original brown cloth with decoration to the front board and spine. All edges gilt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's in very good condition but the book does show a slight forward lean and there is light wear and bumping to the corners. The boards show minor markings and there is occasional bumping to the board edges. The spine ends are crushed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, there is an inscription written opposite the half title page. The pages show age toning throughout, with scattered foxing and marking. Some of the pages have been dog eared by a previous reader which has left creasing behind. There are also occasional cracks to the gutter but the pages remain tightly bound. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book features black and white illustrations. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions approximately 18.7cm x 12.9cm x 1.7cm. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book will arrive hand wrapped in patterned wallpaper and string.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI 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)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Vintage Bookworm UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57237523038581,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0539\/9271\/8525\/files\/159EF470-C1D9-4577-A1EA-469E391C2600.jpg?v=1780158314","url":"https:\/\/thevintagebookworm.co.uk\/products\/first-edition-1891-the-blue-poetry-book-by-andrew-lang-victorian-illustrated-copy-2","provider":"The Vintage Bookworm UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
