Good Words Book, 1883, Donald Macleod, Isbister & company, illustrated, 7x9.5 in
A nice copy of Good Words dating to 1883 and featuring fantastic illustrations. Nice inscription plate to the front inner showing this as a prize in 1888. Condition as shown. Light foxing to a few pages. I have over the years collected many unusual old books and it is now time to let some go and finally have room in an overflowing loft and library. Non smoking house and stored in dark and very dry conditions. Postage prices are in line with size and weight of package….some of these books can be very heavy and large. I have tried to give an give a fair appraisal of the items but please remember that I am going by my own standards...these books have not been graded professionally. In other words if I say good condition then in my opinion the condition is such that I would be happy to buy it myself at the price given. Everybody has different points of view and I am no expert on condition types so please contact me if you have any questions.... I would rather you were happy before buying. These are not mint unused books so please do not bid if you are looking for such. Issues with books of this age can include but are not limited to loose bindings, foxing, page edge deterioration etc…..if you have questions please ask. I am not a book dealer, I will try and describe the item but I would like to state that the photographs are an important part of my selling...so please study them carefully. If you are are uncertain of anything please contact me and ask. I have looked up the costs of all the items and tried to keep the starting price fair in order to allow market forces to dictate. If you get a bargain then good as we will both win.
