$36.00 $48.00
This is a good hardcover, Reveries of a Bachelor of A Book of The Heart by Ik Marvel, circa 1910's Allison Publishing. This copy is very good inside given age. We did see a few pages with a sentence underlined in pencil early in the book but it is not extensive and limited to early pages. The pages are quite clean w no foxing and only a hint of natural tanning from age. The binding is tight and straight with the only minor binding flaw being at page 211 where you can see slight separation but pages tight to binding (see photo). This copy still has the tissue guard over the frontispiece illustration and is finely illustrated throughout. The cover is bound in maroon hardcover boards with gold design front and gold lettering along spine. The cover is very good front and back with only light shelf wear. Standard crown octavo book size or 5.5" x 8" with 337 pages.
