To see my son's old books. Not nearly as nice as mine. The Iliad and Odyssey of Homer. Translated by Alexander Pope with Valuable Notes and Commentaries and Several Incidental Literary Papers, not Contained in Any Other Edition, Edited by W. Size = apx 9.5 " by 6.75". This book weighs almost 4 lbs! Finest binding offered - full stamped leather with. Lettering, marbled page edges and. With a few tissue guarded steel engravings & a few in text. Photos carefully as they are part.

I try to mention the book's main faults. All of my books are VERY OLD. And have 100+ years of wear to varying degrees.

Boards - very secure- the front cover was detached & has been professionally repaired. It should last another 50 years! Leather - very good with a 2.5 scrape to the back cover. Outer joints - back one good, front one has the split line all the way down, I took a close up of the top for you.

Spine ends - very good. Inner hinges - very good, small bit of wear /tear to front top.

VERY CLEAN - only saw 2 small spots and the shadow from the ribbon bookmark. 1 very small fold , pages have in indent in the middle - see last picture to understand better, no rips that I saw.

Writing - none that I saw. Other - gilt page edges still very bright -with just one small spot of wear. A NICE BOOK to add to your library. 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. 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.

As far as I can tell -this book does not smell bad. The item "FINE ANTIQUE ILIAD & ODYSSEY OF HOMER FULL LEATHER BINDING GILT SOLD @ $1875" is in sale since Saturday, October 27, 2018. This item is in the category "Books\Antiquarian & Collectible".
