I always have some Victorian etiquette /home. To see my son's old books. With over One Hundred Illustrations by De La Charlerie, Rambert, Alexandre de Bar, and others. 12 3/4" by 10 1/8". Written as a travel narrative, largely about Russia with a section on "Transylvania and the Turkish Principalities" and little about Greece [last 12 pages]. Keep scrolling for more pictures. As they are part of the description. Externally - nice hardcover with.And black spine lettering that says " Russia and Greece". Back cover looks about as good as the front but with some discoloration /fading upper left corner; it has the same design as the front [blind stamped] but it is not colored black like the front. Most of the gilt on cover has been re-done. Spine ends worn, but the rest of the spine looks pretty good for its age. Pages are all generally clean.
20 small rips repaired with doc. Tape [most about an inch, some smaller - largest one was about 3]. Endpapers foxed and a bit grubby; name written on ffep. Top of the pages in the gutter area are lightly bent.
Otherwise - very good for age! If I missed something it was unintentional.
Remember - when opening an old book, always have the cover supported! It's best to place it on a soft pillow. VERY RARE travel book on RUSSIA - grab it before it's gone! Please Add me to your Favorites list.
AND check back now and then to see what's new! Otherwise I can't send you a new invoice. T can take up to 14 days to get back East. The following pages are in this book, but from archive.
This book is very old and. May have accumulated bad smells along the way [musty basement/ mildew/ smoke]. Dryer sheets in them for a few months makes a world of difference! My nose doesn't work like it use to. So the old book smell doesn't bother me.
