Trollope, Anthony

Tales of All Countries [First Series]

London: Chapman and Hall, 1861. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover. An about Very Good copy of the first edition, first printing, in the Publisher's original green cloth with spine lettered and decorated in gilt, the front board lined and decorated in gilt, and the rear board decorated in blind. The volume is askew and shows rubbing to the boards and rubbing through to the board corners and spine ends. The boards show bubbling to the cloth, the rear hinge is broken, and the leaves are rather clean. The volume contains eight short stories and no catalogue ever has been present and, as Sadlier states: "This catalogue may be regarded as optional. Copies of the book exist with no catalogue at all, and, as it is doubtful whether more than one binding-up of sheets was ever called for (the stories were unsuccessful in volume form) catalogue and non-catalogue copies may well be simultaneous is issue." As of the date this description was authored, we found only three (3) first edition copies of the book in original cloth on ABE and only six (6) copies altogether. QUITE SCARCE INDEED. Very good.
