What Our Customers Say...

Description

Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

First thus of The Spanish Lady and Two Other Stories From Cervantes in the original publisher's cloth binding and unclipped dust wrapper. 

An illustrated edition, translated from the original by James Mabbe 1640.

With illustrations in black and white and in colour throughout the text by Douglas Percy Bliss, a Scottish painter and conservationist. 

A lovely edition of this collection of short stories from the fourteenth and fifteenth century Early Modern Spanish writer. 

Condition

In the original publisher's cloth binding and unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, very smart. There is some minor bumping to the head and tail of the spine and to the extremities. The hinges are slightly strained but firm. The dust wrapper is worn, with small closed tears to the extremities, creasing, and age toning. Notably, there is a large closed tear to the rear, some slight loss to the tail of the spine, and two closed tears to the joint of the spine. Internally, firmly bound. The pages are very bright and clean.

Very Good Indeed
