St Marys Books

A four-volume set uniformly bound in half-red leather with red cloth boards, four raised bands, and gilt bugle motif and titles to the spines. All are in good condition despite slight fading to the spines and cloth, with light rubbing, and wear to the extremities. The top edge of the text block is gilt and still fairly bright while the fore edge although toned is clean. Internally the binding is tight with marbled endpapers. Pages are very clean throughout despite the very occasional spot of foxing. Barrack Room Ballads, published 1909, twenty-sixth edition, pp. xix + 208. The Five Nations, published 1909. fifth edition. The Seven Seas, published 1909, fifteenth edition, pp. xv + 230. Departmental Ditties, published 1909, seventeenth edition, pp. xi + 176. Overall a very good set.
