Description:
|
Book is Good in no dust jacket. Quarter leather binding, second edition,
David Webster & John Wylie, Glasgow, 1818. This is an abridged re-issue of the work of 1612, and includes a facsimile title page from the first edition, published by John Budge. Text block is clean and tight and free of foxing or stains, with some yellowing of rough-cut page edges. Binding is quite old though possibly not original. Quarter leather with edge-drying and chafed spine with worn ends. Gilt titling still clear, simply says "Scots Chronicles". Plain grey paper boards with moderate corner wear and patina but not too bad looking. Inner hinges weak and front one sprung. Binding does not look to have been that strong in the first place, but would be straightforward to repair. The front binding chords are broken. Nonetheless, the book is a functional reference copy as-is. 207pp.
