Thomas Tegg, 1842, Hardcover (Full Leather), Book Condition: Good
This copy has a pencil note identifying the author and offering the opinion that he "introduces mistakes which are not found elsewhere" A lovely red leather binding with five bands and ornate gilt decoration on the backstrip. An amateur but reasonable repair has been effected on the interior hinges involving laying some marbled paper over the joint at the front. The book feels perfectly safe in the hand as a result even if the repairs look a little inelegant. Category: Ships & the Sea;
