The Old Gentleman of the Black Stock 1901 First edition thus Thomas Nelson Page Decorated pretty book
$18.00

This is a "very good -" or better antique book. The spine is solid, albeit cocked, the hinges are tight and strong. There is a name dated 1901 quilled with flourish on front end paper. There is a dark "L" shaped stain on the lower front cover, seems like it might be ink, and there three spots where there was apparent moisture exposure to the cloth on the spine. No loose page, no folded or torn pages. The gilt at the text block head is wonderful - the picture(s) do not do it justice. It is very bright and shiny, not rubbed. See accompanying photos for full condition details. Will ship to you carefully packaged.
