About This Item
Ann Arbor: Dr. Chase's Steam Printing House, 1869. Hardcover. Stated First Edition. 8vo. Bound in full cloth with blindstamped decoration and gold gilt titling of the spine. VERY GOOD. Shows a somewhat loose endpaper with a cursive former owner signature dated 1878, some edge and corner wear with the occasional rubbing mark, the occasional touch of foxing, otherwise the binding is secure, the text is clean and unmarked, and the boards remain distinct. As pictured.
