Description
Attention Collectors!!! You are bidding on a set of antique hardcover books titled A Critical Dictionary of English Literature and British and American Authors, Living and Deceased, from the Earliest Accounts to the Latter Half of the Nineteenth Century Containing over Forty-Six Thousand Articles (Authors), With Forty Indexes of Subjects. By S. Austin Allibone. Published by J. B. Lippincott & Co., 1878. These are large, very thick and heavy books. This work was a massive undertaking. It contains a huge amount of information! An extremely valuable set for researching authors, famous and not famous. You won't believe how comprehensive this set is! This is NOT a reprint. These are the actual books from 1878! The books are a treasure-trove of information! The set is complete in three volumes and you are purchasing all three. It is an all-matching set. Books bound in publisher's half black morocco leather bindings with tooled and raised spines, marbled boards and endpapers and gilt top edges. Not surprisingly because of the weight of these books, some of the joints reinforced. All pages clean and tightly bound. This is a terrific set to add to a collection. Great gift idea.
