Condition: Good
Description: 1893 large paper limited edition copy of Andrew Lang's, "Homer and the Epic." The book is overall in good condition with some minor signs of wear and age. It is number 25 out of only 107 copies printed. The covers have moderate soiling and wear with some corner wear and edge wear. The binding of the book is good sound. There is a paper clip rust stain/indentation to the top margin of the front endpapers as well as to the front blank flyleaf. The interior is lightly toned from age but is mostly nice and clean with just some very occasional scattered light foxing, soiling, or grubbiness. As issued the page edges are rough cut. Along with that there may be the very occasional page with some kind of other minor imperfection such as a creased page corner, minor interior crack, etc. Generally though, it's a good copy. The book measures approximately 10 inches by 7 3/4 inches and is 424 pages long.
