Huge book, with a fine leather hardcover w/ gold etchings. No year is listed inside, but owner signed book with year of 1885 and worldcat can only find one version prior to that year which is 1883? (with a question mark) and nothing else earlier which makes this especially rare, cannot find another copy. in existence. Lots of illustrations and even music inside. Page edges are gold when closed.
I try to take photographs of the most noticeable wear / damaged areas of the books I list so you can see the worst of any imperfections.
