Description
Two volume "Histoire de Jules Cesar," published 1865 and 1866 by Henri Plon. Quarter leather binding with gilt lettering and decoration on spine. This printing appears to lack the maps that some others have. Good. Spine of Vol. 2 is worn with some loss at the top and separation along hinge at bottom front. Gilt on spine bright. Minor scuffing/denting of boards. Some wear along extremities. Binding is tight. Endpapers have dark staining along edges and minor water staining. Interior text appears clean. Important note : the publisher, or more likely a previous owner, somewhat crudely gilded the edges of the textblock. This resulted in (1) a little stray paint on endpapers (but not text pages), and (2) many of the pages sticking together at the edges. The pages do separate relatively easily and without damage, and I separated many of them, but many others are still stuck together. See, for example, photos for Pg. 41 stuck together, then subsequently unstuck to see lack of damage. One page was found to have a tear at the bottom, not affecting text. Text pages appear to be clean. The books also have a bit of an odor. See photos.

Used book was purchased on an offer. It was very good price even considering the shipping cost from the USA. The seller communicated very well. He must have sent the book quickly as it arrived in only 11 days. It was VERY well packaged. The description proved accurate and well worth the shipping cost. Excellent! I would recommend and use again.
