Between the Covers

Hardcover. First American edition. Two volumes. Octavo. Original boards with muslin spines and printed paper labels, preserved in a custom folding box. Contemporary penciled name and gift inscription dated 1838 on the title pages, printed label of "Hosford's Circulating Library" on the front pastedowns, corners bumped, some slight scuffing to the boards, a few tears to leaves professionally mended, and modest wear to the labels. Despite some minor flaws a very attractive example of a book rarely found in the original binding.
