Percy B Shelley Antique Poetry Book, Illustrated, Hard Cover, Late 1800s, CE1092

Description: "Shelley Illustrated" / "The Chandos Poets" / "F. Warne & Co." / "Ballantyne Press" / 613 pages + 5 pages of publisher's advertisements. Ca. 1880s This is a wonderful old book from the late 1900s - I can't actually find a date on it anywhere - but I've seen others from the "Chandos Poet" series online that all date to this era. From my experience it certainly feels and looks antique! My guess is that it's also "first edition". Inside it claims to be the most comprehensive book yet of Percy B Shelley's "out of copyright" poetry. It's certainly a thick tomb coming in at over 600 pages! The book's cover is a wonderful dark red pictorial cloth stamped in black and gold on the front and spine panels, and in blind on the rear. Inside the pages have gilt edges and each page has a red line border. This book has wear and odd stains in places, but all-in-all the pages are intact. For a 130+ year old item I'd say it's in good condition. In fact its distressed aging just adds to its appeal. Not only will this book be a wonderful read, but it will also make a great piece of shelf / office desk decor. Book size: 7 3/4" height x 5 7/8" width x 1 5/8" thickness. It weighs 1lb 15oz. Great gift for the memorabilia collector of old books and rare items. CONDITION, Please read the description. This book shows signs of age and wear as all great vintage items do. Examine all the pictures closely. It has minor odd staining in places (mainly inner front / inner back cover). Zoom in & out to get a good sense of it's exact condition: a picture tells a thousand words. The photos serve as a document as to its condition. You will receive the exact book pictured here. Shipping is free for mainland USA. All my items are well packed, tracked and fully insured. It will arrive to you in the exact condition as pictured. VINTAGE CHUCK SAYS: This is the only one I have so don't delay if you want to make it yours. :o) **Shelley Illustrated Antique Book, Hard Cover Late 1800s Victorian, Chandos Poets Series, Grandpa Grandma Gift Old Shelf Office Decor, CE1092**
