Book is Very Good in Poor dust jacket. Quarter-calf binding,
Chez Guillaume Desprez, Paris, 1755. Nouvelle edition, revue, corrige et augmentee, suivant la nouvelle Description de la France. This copy is complete in two volumes, in original binding. The text blocks are in clean and tightly bound condition, just the page edges are dusty and darkened, with the odd freckle appearing inside. The covers are ragged, grubby, and the front boards of both volumes are detached but present. These would make excellent binding copies, although the original bindings could be repaired also. The spines are firm but the leather is very worn, the labels are one missing and one very eroded. You can still get a sense of the decoration on the spines. The volumes have listed the maps which should appear, and some are missing. There is absolutely no trace of any page stubs on any of the pages where maps are missing, and since the numbers of maps agree closely with some other copies of this work, the conclusion is that this copy may simply have had less maps included for economy reasons. The maps lacking as per the contents lists are Vol 1: lacking maps on p86, p190, p356, with seven maps present. Vol 2: lacking maps on p245, p253, p283, p316, p349, p369, p375, p377, with eight maps present. One or two of the maps are not bound in exactly the part of the book indicated in the contents, but are close by. All the fourteen maps are in excellent condition with no tears and generally nice and clean and properly folded. xxiv + 392 + 7 maps, iv + 404 + 8 maps (all blank endpapers seem to be in order)
