Seller's Description:
Fine. 4to-over 9¾-12" tall Although there is no statement in the book so indicating, I believe this is a scarce DELUXE Leatherbound edition with all edges gilt. Dark blue textured leather with gilt titles and ribbon marker. INSCRIBED by the author to recipient in ink on title page. Recipient was a well-known clock collector. Pristine condition, suitable for gift-giving. If I am correct, likely no dust jacket was issued for the deluxe edition.
