Author: HEWLETT, MAURICE
Title: The Forest Lovers
Description: London, Macmillan and Co. Ltd. 1902. hardcover. Used, Rubbing marks and edgewear to extremities; especially around edges of spine. Faces of boards show signs of rubbing and discolouration. Pronounced rings to spine are rubbed and worn, but gold lettering is still visible. Very nice gold pattern to the inside border of front and rear boards, surrounding a blue/green/gold marble effect pattern. The hard cover is split at the top of spine on the front side by around 2cm and on the rear side a split stretches two thirds of the book. The joining sheet between the inside of the front board and the FEP has split the entire length but although it is split, the page block and spine remain solid and attached. The same can be said for the rear also, although this does not stretch the entire length. Previous owner's name to FEP. This is a very well made book and despite these emerging weaknesses it remains solid. Edge of page block is gold leaf and, other than the first two blank pages that are age-spotted, the pages are very clean and tight throughout. Text is bright and very readable. A very nice, attractive book overall. Acceptable/No Dust Jacket.
