This stunning antique edition of A Helping Hand was published by Thomas Nelson and Sons. The book is undated but there is an inscription dated 1920.
The book is bound in blue cloth with beautiful decoration in yellow and black to the front board and spine. Externally, it's in very good condition with only light rubbing to the corners and minor foxing to the text block edges. The spine shows faint sunning.
Inside, the book is sadly lacking it's title page. There is a penned inscription on the front free endpaper and a name written in pencil in the top corner. The pages show scattered foxing but are otherwise clean and bright. There is occasional creasing to the paper.
Dimensions approximately 18.8cm x 13cm x 2.9cm.
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).
