[THE LONDON TIMES NEWSPAPER]

The Times / Engineering Supplement [with] Financial and Commercial Supplement [with] Educational Supplement

London, The Times Newspaper, 1911. Leather Bound. Folio size volume bound in 3/4 leather over dark 'pebbled' cloth. The text is printed on newsprint stock, which has now browned a bit. The binding of this large, heavy, volume has been allowed in the past to dry, and hence the front joint is partially cracked and the boards show wear to extremities. The binding is still quite dry and must be handled with care. However, the contents are clean and unmarked. Given the ephemeral nature of such publications, it is quite unusual to find such an extensive run, and in such good condition (the binding notwithstanding). A run of three different supplements (special issues) from the London Times. The Engineering Supplement runs from January 2, 1907 to October 2, 1907; the Financial and Commercial Supplement from January 7, 1907 to May 6, 1907, and the Educational Supplement from September 6, 1910 to December 5, 1911. .
