George Routledge and Sons, London, 1859. Twelve chromolithograph plates, with some foxing, but generally clean with bright colours, and the frontis tissue guard is intact.

Some rubbing and fraying of cloth on outer hinges, but not threatening to worsen. Gilt decoration on spine very faded, but the nice gilt fern embossed on the front is still shown to advantage and goes well with the curly-wurly embossed motifs in the dark green cloth. A bit dusty around the edges, but a nice atmospheric copy.

The Genealogist's Guide to Printed Pedigrees

Book is Very Good Brown cloth binding, First Edition,

Minor shelfwear, new black endpapers, and numerous old fountain pen underlinings in red and black in the text. These are quite nicely done, and give the book atmosphere rather than being a nuisance. There are a few ink splothes and freckles and smudges, this is a worked-with copy, but the paper is generally clean and sound. Faint hint of tobacco odour but paper dry smelling.
