Condition: Very Good

Description: Nice copy with pictorial cover and spine with gilt lettering. A.E.G. First British edition and scarce. 32 pages of ad's in back dated Oct. 1885. 2 problems exist - 1) the top of the spine is torn about 1/8 of an inch and across most of the top, but t this strip is still there and could be fixed or glued, but not by me. Also while not really noticeable, there is a slight line of a stain on the backcover. However not very noticeable and still a very attractive copy of a scarce item.
