Physical Details: Publication Date: 1898 Condition: Good overall – Binding is tight and fully intact. Possible rebinding: The plain cloth cover with no visible spine or front-board lettering suggests that this copy may have been rebound, likely for durability.

Note to Buyers All books in my inventory receive a basic dry clean (light wipe-down for gunk and dirt removal). I make it a point to preserve the life and story of each book by keeping any items found with them - such as bookmarks, pressed flowers, newspaper clippings, or other unique inserts - exactly as they were when I acquired them. If you would prefer these items to be removed before shipping, please contact me after purchase and I will gladly accommodate your request.
