The Book of Pets
New York: Frederick A. Stokes Company, Publishers, 1893. First edition. Hardcover. Quarto [28 cm] 1/4 blue cloth with illustrated paper over boards. Very good. The boards are lightly rubbed and soiled, and the underlying boards are exposed along the edges. The hinges are a little shaky, there is a 2" split in the rear endsheet along the hinge, and there is a contemporary gift inscription on the front free endpaper. The frontispiece page is just beginning to detach at the foot. Item #42708
