The collection was probably bound around 1925 with a name and date on the front endpaper,’ John Couper, 1925.’
In half leather binding with rubs and wear to spine. Interior in generally very good condition with some spotting in places. The thickness of the volume has weakened the spine a little, a few pages are sitting loose inside but no loss. Some sections are pulling on the spine hinge and sitting proud. But a very good collection in scarce early format.
