Description:
|
Book is VG+ Red Buckram binding, First Edition,
Jackson, Wylie & Co, Glasgow, 1925. The definitive work on Peeblesshire, with numerous photo-plates, fold out maps, one in colour, geneological charts, etc. This was produced as a complete two-volume work in 1925, however a third volume in the series was added two years later, and is not offered here. These were once library copies, but only have paste-downs on the fly, they do not suffer any of the other usual ex-library problems. The buckram bindings are sound and tight and have minor scuffing, spotting and handling marks, but the overall condition is excellent. Insides clean and free of foxing or flaws, all plates and fold-outs are in good order. Some sunfade of spines. Gilt titling clear. There is a wealth of material in these books that would be difficult to surpass. xii+498 + xv+555.
