Author: Professor Wilson, AKA Christopher North
Title: The Foresters; Lights and Shadows of Scottish Life; The Trials of Margaret Lyndsay
Description: Book is Fair Half-Leather binding, New Edition, William Blackwood & Sons, Edinburgh, 1868. Three of the author's titles are here bound in a single volume. The Foresters and "lights and Shadows" are 1868 editions, the Trials of Margaret Lyndsay is dated 1867. The text block is sound and tight and free of foxing or staining, except for some freckles near the endpapers. Unfortunately the rear hinge of the half-leather binding has sprung open, leaving the back board firmly attached, but the spine panel flapping open. Could be fixed or re-backed. The boards are generally worn, the label on the spine is present, a bit creased. Someone has probably collected the stories and had them privately bound, so his book may be a one-off. 237pp + 269pp + 247pp. Size 12mo

Title: Mee-A-Ow
Description: Book is Fair Mustard cloth binding, First Edition, T. Nelson & Sons, London, 1881. A worn copy with some child's crayonings of the text engravings. This is a VERY fingermarked copy, the inner hinges very shaky but holding. The good points are a lovely chromolith frontis "Tom is Naughty", and the decorated covers. There is anoval tipped on glossy chromo plate, and black and gilt embossed lettering and motifs. All a bit grubby, and the oval vignette has two small holes, but a good collectable nonetheless.

Title: Plain Jane
Description: Book is Near Fine in no dust jacket. Blue cloth binding, First Edition, T. Fisher Unwin, London, 1927. A tidy, clean and tightly bound first edition copy, in blue cloth. The pages are very clean with no ownermarks, just a few foxing freckles here and there. The blue cloth covers are perfectly straight and free of fade, with just a hint of cornerwear and a few minor scuffs. The gilt is very shiny both on spine and front cover, which has a motif of a couple dancing. The mystery is that lthough it states Unwin as the publisher on the title page, the spine base says "Benn" - go figure. Paper is fine and high quality. Size 12mo
