Between the Covers

Hardcover. Complete in two volumes. Ornamented with wood cuts originally designed and engraved by Dr. A. Anderson. 12mo. 312pp; 338pp. Both volumes with engraved frontispieces. Contemporary full calf with dark red leather spine labels modestly bordered in gilt with "Iliad" stamped in gilt, and blue speckled edges. Ex-library with labels on the spines, wear to the boards and spines including to the spine labels with two small chips to the spine of Volume One, and Volume Two cracked a bit where the rear board meets the spine; both volumes with bookplates on the front pastedowns from "Connecticut College Library," a few pages with library stamps, library pockets adhered to the rear pastedowns, and light foxing throughout; Volume One with an owner name above the preface, another name on the rear fly leaf, and a "Date Due" label (unused) adhered to the rear free endpaper, Volume Two appears to be lacking the rear free endpaper; good only, but still a sound copy.
