Previous owner's name in pencil to endpaper.

A very good full leather rebind hardback, retaining the original brown calf covers (scuffed), but with a complete replacement leather spine, with labels (the gilt worn) - the book has substantial girth with so many poems included, so was probably never originally published as a full book like this, but as individual poems which have been collected and bound by the owner.

Pages bright and clean, with titles, frontispieces and tissue guards retained. All soundly bound. Tam O'Shanter a little foxed, but overall the book is in very nice condition.

Text in English.

Each poem paginated individually.
