Small green cloth hardback (4.5×5.5 inches) with gilt spine titles and decoration and blind stamped decorative border to covers; extremities bumped and worn, significant bleaching and staining to boards, joints and hinges cracked but contents still fairly firmly bound. Internally fairly crisp and free of foxing, just light age toning, some very mild damp staining affecting the edges of the leaves without obscuring the text, Wellesbourne Lending Library Rules stuck to the front pastedown. Overall Fair. Photos available on request.Brown cloth with gilt spine and cover titles and black decorations to both; top and bottom of spine worn with some loss, corners bumped with light wear, light stain to cover, hinges cracked, binding shocked with some loose pages. Notes in ink to advertorial FFEP, previous owner name in pencil to title-page, occasional underlining in pencil and ink, some folding of corners, title-page thumbed, otherwise clean and relatively free from age-toning or foxing. Overall Good. Photos available on request.
