A Day With The Poet Burns By Robert Burns 1907 Printed London HC Read Scription

Description: This is is early 20th Century . The pages themselves are in remarkable condition. They are fresh with beautiful full quality paper. The photos are stunning, sharp and vibrant. There is splitting at parts of the spine (which is normal for antique books. What happens with some books and this book is there are places where you can only turn a page so far without the page after it holding it back from being able to lay down. So you need to pick up that page and maybe another to be able to then lay several pages down at once. As you turn the pages if you life up the back cover a little it will to ease the tightness of group of pages. When you first open and look through it you need to be very mindful and slow so you can feel how the book wants you to handle it. It sounds a little confusing maybe but if you are slow you will know how to handle it . The backbone of book has lost its covering over the years. See photo (third to last) This is more of a book for collecting . You can look through from time to time but you won’t be able to read in bed for example . All the pages are in tact and in excellent condition . It just seems that it really can’t handle too much . Best to preserve . I don’t see a date on this book There is some writing on first page that says 1909 in pencil . So I would say between 1905-1908. I put 1907 in the details because I had to put a year
