Brian DiMambro(Old Books, 19th Century Books, Leather Books, French Books, Geography, Books with Maps).
Abrege de la Geographie de Crozat.
Published 1808, Paris by Les Libraires Associes.
228 pages. Text in French. Two folding engraved maps (Europe & France).
Attractive antiquarian full leather binding, smooth spine, gilt title lettering.
Book is physically old and shows some signs of handling and time.
Binding gently age worn but still appealing, leather and joints slightly rubbed but still supple, small hole in spine at head, some surface abrasion/ scuffing to boards, remains overall very attractive as an object.
Text block paper is gently age toned as typical, internally the book remains mostly clean, tight and sound. A book which has been taken care of but may/ does not look like new.
Still attractive on the shelf. Book displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in rather nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws seem easy to overlook or forgive.
Please review photos for more detailed attempt to present this book as it survives.
We often over-describe any flaws that many sellers would not even bother to mention since most people would overlook them as minor and unworthy of comment. Many people tell us the books they receive from us are nicer in person than they appears on the screen. We want you to be clear about what you are buying, so we take numerous photos and try to describe it openly and honestly.
