VERY GOOD:

We carefully tailor all our condition notes to the actual book you see in the photographs so please read below:

This is fresh from the attic in very good antique condition

The deep scarlet red boards are the tiniest bit rubbed at and faded at the corners with slight bumping.

All the pages are firm with no messy graffiti of any kind and clean throughout with no foxing.

Attractive endpapers with 'Everyman' quote, very slight foxing (age freckling).

Endpapers tanned to extremities with some mild shelfwear overall. Around 2mms of webbing showing on front hinge and occasionally throughout the book, but still firm and holding together well.

Spine Intact with attractively embossed gilt titles visible with just a little wear to the cloth.

Lovely old book that looks handsome on a shelf.

Please remember this pre-owned vintage book has been loved before and condition is graded taking this into consideration.

This vintage book has been specially selected by Kitty for good quality and its individual appeal.

Sir Edward George Bulwer-Lytton.

Bulwer-Lytton's novel Paul Clifford written in 1830 begins with “It was a dark and stormy night.”

In his day he was as famous as Dickens although many of his gripping books are now largely forgotten by most - other than for the mocking Bulwer Lytton Fiction Contest wherein entries must begin with the previously quoted sentence.
