The book itself is undated but I'd estimate it to be circa 1900. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is bound in original brown cloth with blind stamped detail in black and gilt to the front and spine. It's in very good condition but there is a whitish splash mark to the front and other more minor marks and scuffs to the back board. The spine is slightly darkened and there is crushing to the spine ends. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, there are no inscriptions and one plate is almost detached. The pages show tanning - particularly to the margins, with sporadic foxing and handling marks. There are just a few black and white illustration plates. Dimensions approximately 18cm x 12.7cm x 3.5cm. \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 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).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Vintage Bookworm UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57524767261045,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0539\/9271\/8525\/files\/014BDF79-D44B-4367-A38C-4CE049009990.jpg?v=1787743487","url":"https:\/\/thevintagebookworm.co.uk\/products\/stories-of-the-cathedral-cities-of-england-by-emma-marshall-pictorial-binding-copy","provider":"The Vintage Bookworm UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
