first edition hardcover with dustjacket

CONDITION:

This hard-cover book is in very good condition with some restoration. 
The book haas been rebound and recased into its original cover. The cloth hardcover is mildly soiled, but has been cleaned and is in very good condition overall. The spine and board corners have been repaired. The hinges have been reinforced with new paper, but the original endpapers were retained. There is an old inked name on the second brand endpaper, some random staining from flowers that are pressed into the book years ago (a few pages—see pics) and some light water staining on the last few pages, Otherwise, the interior is excellent with no major marks, underlining, tears or odor. The paper is slightly toned with age—but much less than usual for this issue. The hinges and binding are excellent with no loose or missing illustrations or pages.

From the preface:

”It is within the delightful precincts of home that love finds its greatest scope. Its beauties and attractions can be none too pleasant and tasteful; and in presenting this volume the chief aim of the publishers has been to combine a manual that will prove useful and practical to the wife, mother or daughter, and such as will prove of infinite value to the father, husband or son, whether he seeks for historical, political or business information.
