No publication dates are printed in these copies. Based on the publisher, format and style, these appear to be early-1900s John C. Winston editions. Exact publication dates are unknown.
CONDITION — PLEASE READ:
These books show significant age-related deterioration to the exterior bindings. The covering material is dry and fragile with flaking/crumbling, especially along the edges, corners and ends of the spines. There is surface loss, rubbing and general wear throughout.
The interior pages appear considerably better preserved than the bindings, with expected age toning. The gilt page edges and much of the decorative gilt spine detail remain attractive.
Because the bindings are fragile, the books have not been repeatedly opened or extensively handled for photographs. Interior photographs are representative.
These are being sold primarily as antique collectible/decorative books and are not recommended for frequent reading or handling.
Please examine all photographs closely for condition. Sold as found and unrestored.
