The book is undated but I'd estimate it to be early 20th century - circa 1910's-1920's. It includes wonderful quotes and passages on the pleasure of nature. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book features a limp leather binding, with delicate gilt detailing. Limp leather bindings originated from the medieval era but they became popular again in the late Victorian period. The leather extends over the edge of the book block in what's known as a yapp binding. This makes it very easy for the leather to become damaged and torn around the edges. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is in good condition with the main flaw being the fading and discolouration to the spine. There is also light sunning and wear to the leather edges. The leather also shows some faint scuffing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, the endpapers are beautifully illustrated and the pages are clean and bright with only light age toning and occasional foxing. There is a name written neatly on the half title page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book will arrive hand wrapped in patterned paper 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":56796902719861,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0539\/9271\/8525\/files\/BD663F78-CCD6-4DB7-86D8-313DD6D4B7B8.jpg?v=1772122187","url":"https:\/\/thevintagebookworm.co.uk\/products\/the-pleasures-of-bookland-full-suede-leather-yapp-binding-copy","provider":"The Vintage Bookworm UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
