Antonio Stradivari His Life and Work Hill First Edition
Quarter Calf Vellum White with red and gilt heraldic emblem on green cloth boards
Highly collectible investors edition, 
This is the finest condition copy we have ever had for sale, in that the spine shows very limited rubbing softening and wear to which the calf has been prone
These corners are crisp by comparison to all the copies we have handled
This bears a personal 'ex libris' library stamp in ink of a previous careful owner (N.D. De Sion of Holloway) 
You really could not expect to find a copy in finer condition than this in our extensive experience
As you can see from the auction extract below this is a book which is highly prized and desired by collectors globally with a price tag reflecting that desire.
You will surely find that cheaper copies are not in the condition of this marvellously kept item
We are glad to offer it for sale and do hope it finds a great home, please note the copy in the video below is a previous sale, this copy is in better condition.
