Vintage Modern Library Faux leather dressed book “A Night in the Luxembourg” 1926 First edition Remy de Gourmont
$28.00
“A Night in the Luxembourg” by Remy de Gormount, published by the Modern Library in 1926.
First edition thus.
Sextodecimo in soft green faux leather boards, decorated end papers, gilt decoration on the front board, 215 pages including appendixes.
This is a “good” or better vintage book with an intact but weakened binding, the gutters are not split, but you can feel a little “give”. No loose, torn or folded pages. No writing. Some surface wear, some light creasing in the leather on front and back. Board corners are worn at the ends, with the front lower corner jammed with the leather and inside past down separated at about 1/2″. The board wrap is split at the bottom of the spine and along the front lower edge for about 2 1/2″.
Showing a little wear, but still a nice, pleasant, almost antique volume!
See accompanying images for full condition details.
Will ship promptly, well packaged.
