This is a one-volume American edition of Rackham's epic, if not excessive, 1910-1911 treatments of Wagner's The Rhinegold and the Valkyrie, and Siegfried and The Twilight of The Gods. If 48 full-page color plates of Rackham illustrating Wagner is enough for you – meaning, you don't require the full 64(!) from the pricy original editions and their pricy faithful reprints -- this is where to get it. There's also a two-volume edition of this if you want to spend a bit more. Book is tight, clean and straight with some water spots on the blue buckram binding, spine gilt still in effect, some shelf wear at bottom of the spine. The interior, including printed endpapers, is near mint with all plates present and in perfect shape save for a couple of spots like the one in the photo. The only other marking evident is an unobtrusive gift inscription (April 11, 1943) from someone called Snooks. Any attempt to track down Snooks seems unlikely to succeed.

Bound in dark green cloth front and spine, decoratively stamped in gilt. Pictorial endpapers, top edge gilt. Twelve color plates by Arthur Rackham with printed tissue guards, and numerous black and white illustrations. VG+ with some edge wear mostly at top and bottom spine. The substance they used to dye the cloth green with this and other (matching) late Rackham works is very subject to water damage and wear. This copy is in really good shape, considering. Binding is straight, square and crisp. Interior is near mint with no markings except a penciled price on the ffep. (That price is $97.93.) I didn't buy it for that, and I ain't selling it for that price either.

New off-the-shelf copy of this large-format softcover (with map), original 1975 edition. Straight, solid, and unread, and recently remaindered due to cosmetic wear, chiefly on the back cover.
A 2" closed tear on the top inside edge is the worst of it, with the rest being various minor rubs and scratches. Quite presentable, includes map.
Book ships the next business day with tracking number.
