What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Folding Maps, Leather Binding, Rebound
Initially published serially, this is the first edition in book form, first issue, with publisher's advertisements dated "5G.4.86" and "5B.4.86", and with the correct issue points of "business" on page 40; "nine o'clock" on page 64 and "Long Islands" on page 101.
Illustrated with a colour folding map frontispiece.
Stevenson's classic novel is set amongst real eighteenth century events, most notably the Appin Murder which occurred in the aftermath of the 1745 Jacobite rising, and portrays the Scottish highlanders sympathetically.
With an eleven page publisher's catalogue to the rear.
Retaining the original half title, but with endpapers renewed.
A lovely example of the first edition of this beloved work.
Condition
Rebound in half calf, with cloth covered boards. Endpapers renewed. A touch of rubbing to spine head, otherwise externally fine. Internally, firmly bound. Instances of light spotting and handling marks throughout, most concentrated to first and last few leaves, and folding map. Pages bright.
