Illustrated Antique Book “The Day’s Work” 1898 Rudyard Kipling 13 short stories First edition
Original price was: $31.00.$24.18Current price is: $24.18.
This is a “very good -” green cloth wrapped antique hardcover published in 1898 by Doubleday, 431 pages with 8 glossy black and white plates and a vellum or rice paper protector on the frontispiece. Deckled edges on outer and lower edge, upper edge gilt.
First edition.
The binding is tight, with intact hinges and gutters, a name and number penned inside front paste down, otherwise no marking nor tags. One page has two crescent tears on the outer edge, where it appears that the pages may not have been fully separated originally, otherwise, no torn, loose or folded pages. The upper gilt shows some rubbing. The lower board corners are mildly bumped and all show wear on the cloth at the tips, as to the spine head and heel.
Still a rather pleasing vintage volume.
See accompanying images for full condition details.
Will ship promptly, carefully packaged.
