I love the simplicity of these bindings; the gilt is a nice contrast to the forest green cloth covers. Light rubbing to extremities; a few small flaws in the cloth. Romola is slightly shelf-cocked and the rear joint is cracked. Bindings are otherwise sound. Pages are crisp and clean. Please note, Mill on the Floss has unopened signatures. This means that the top folds need to be cut in order to read the book. The contents pages have very jagged top edges from a previous owner's cut job.

My Favorite Old Books is a woman-owned online antique bookshop located on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

Every book purchased supports my family. In turn, I donate my time, talent, and treasure to my church, the local correctional facility, and the community soup kitchen. Much of my packaging is recycled, and books I cannot sell are donated or turned into art. Your literary love helps me pour out my heart to others. Thank you!
