This job lot of antiquarian books includes a first edition copy of "Gulliver's Travels" illustrated by Gustave Doré, along with other titles from the 1700s and early 1800s. The hardback books were published by W Wilson in England and are written in English. The fiction subject is classic literature, and the books have special attributes such as being original and having various authors. The country/region of manufacture is the United Kingdom, and they were printed in 1896. These books are a great addition to any avid collector's library.
Selling these as a job lot...They came as part of a house clearance and some have loose covers (which are leather...or seem to be) but the pages inside seem pretty "solid" and not falling out.
They seem to date from 1809 and the larger volume "An English Baron" dates from the 1700's....This particular book is printed in the "Olde English" style (See scans)
These are bound to be of interest to an antiquarian book collector.
I have set a low starting price.

UPDATE ~ UPDATE~ UPDATE#############################....When listing this item I used the eBay "AI text generator" which threw up a few inaccuracies which slipped under my radar!!
It gives the impression that the Gulliver's Travels Book was a first edition (which I don't think it is!!) I am sure any experts can glean the information they need from the photos which I have posted.
If you need any more detail or info please feel free to message me.
