Description: This is an original 1857 hardcover copy of "Nothing to Wear: An Episode of City Life," a short 68-page story written in a poetic style and also containing several illustrations. No author is named, and the title page notes that the story previously had appeared in Harper's Weekly. It was published by Rudd & Carleton of New York, and the dimensions are 4 3/4" wide and 7 1/4" high. Overall, the book is in fair antique condition and makes a good reading copy. You can see in my first four photos that the covers have heavy wear, with the heaviest wear found along the spine; here, someone used glue to repair splitting that occurred on nearly five inches of the right edge of the spine. Someone also unwisely once used this book as a coaster for a drinking glass, leaving a moisture ring in the lower central portion of the front cover. Inside, the pages remain fairly crisp, and the binding remains fairly strong, although there are lots of brown stains and gray smudges, and some pages have wrinkles or creases.
