AIDE-MÉMOIRE DU LIBRAIRE ET DE L'AMATEUR DE LIVRES
Avec l'indication de leur valeur dans le commerce, par un Ancien Libraire
Handbook with prices for antiquarian book sellers and collectors. The cloth of this copy has split at the joints. The upper portion of the spine has pulled away from the book block. Someone has attempted to repair the front joint with clear tape. The cover also has darkened unevenly, shows some soiling and is worn at the corners. The gilding is still present on the upper edges but barely. A penned signature of a former owner (Sarah Dickson) appears on the front free endpaper. The leaves have darkened and become brittle at the edges and near the front and back of the book. The half-title is loose but present; the title page is barely attached. A few leaves have lost fragments at the edges.
