The Quest of Douglas Holms

Hardcover. 441pp. Octavo [20 cm] Red cloth covered boards with decorative red ink stamped designs on the covers, a gilt stamped title bordered by single gilt ruled lines on the spine, and a gilt stamped title in a white panel and gilt borders on the front cover.

The owner's inscription is offset on the half title page. The endsheets and flyleaves are darkened, and the pages are tanned. Sporadic light foxing throughout the pages. In Hubin. Item #37244
