It's all there, but thoroughly xlib. The spine has been covered with tape, there are labels and stamps, and the person who donated it to the library felt free to make notes and pasted in additions related to his wife's family. Some pages are loose, but all appear to be there. Still, the original printing of a very scarce family history. Definitely as-is. ; Ex-Library; Small 4to 9" - 11" tall; 75 pages View More...

The book appears to be very good, with surface soil, and rubbing to the edges. However, some of the full page illustrations have been removed. There are about 10 pages missing from the book. No, all of the full page illustrations have not been removed. No residue or remnants, so I wonder if some of them have simply come loose from the binding. Sold as is. ; Small 4to 9" - 11" tall View More...

Appears to be signed at the top of the front wrap by W. W. H. Davis, the printer. Bound in half-cloth with marbled boards. The front wrap is present, but the next pages are gone, with the work beginning on page 9. The last pages of the index at the rear are also gone, with the index ending at "R" (resolution). The balance of the book appears "fine", with light to moderate foxing. Printed on good paper, which has stayed nice and white, despite the foxing. We find 'em as we find 'em.

The very first page Is missing, but was perforated for removal. Probably an order form. The pages are not numbered consecutively. A bit confusing. There is a separate first section, which starts on page 39, but it does not appear that many pages could have been removed. I see no indication of missing pages in the balance of the book. Your guess is as good as mine. I'm not likely to find another copy to compare it to. Price is as-is. ; Folio 13" - 23" tall View More...
No date, but an inscription inside the cover is dated 1870. Pretty hard to say if this has any relation to reality. Cover is worn & soiled, rubbed at the edges. The cover is paper over boards. Paste-down shows old Mother Goose walking alongside her goose. Fep is missing, and both inner hinges have been repaired. The page edges are very irregular, showing they have been reglued into the binding. This is not the more common later "Mother Goose's Rhymes, Chimes & Jingles".
