Gilt edges.



Owner inscribed "John (can't read) Alpine Siddall June 25, 1897"

In good condition!! Cloth cover with gilt lettering on spine. There is minor wear on the corners of the covers and the top and bottom of the spine as well as two places on both books up the back side of the spine.



First Series the blank page following the last page of the book was cut slightly off, so it is a little smaller than the other pages.

There is faint water stain across the top on pages 247-248 and the following blank page. I do not see where there is any further water damage. There is a scuff line on the front hardboard. Otherwise both books are nice and clean. Pages are clean and free of markings for both books.

Pages and binding are tight.
