1883réf. 014121B oston: James R. Osgood and Company. FULL leather edition Strong clean fresh illustrated text. with the points Twain Flames/Hotel correct. Beautiful gilt edges. Strong book with tight firm internal structure. The BAD PART . Neat yet somewhat crude bookbinder slices cover leathers north to south full length to access and reinforce covers. . The once lovely 5 banned spine now totally flaked yet still strong. The bold marble free end papers are also so sliced and intrusion into the first blank end papers completes the wreck. ALL have been repaired so to speak and are not ok and are serious faults. Thus this volume cries out for the magical book binder.and all will be well again. . Very Good. Leather. 1st Edition. 1883.
