THE LIBERTY BELL
Edition: First thus.
Condition: Very good in the original royal blue cloth covers with gilt lettering and decorations on the spine and a gold illustration of the liberty bell on the front cover; corners bumped, some foxing, notably to the illustrated title page and tissue guard, but the binding is tight and sturdy and most of the pages are quite white and supple. Better than average condition for these relatively fragile books. Maria Weston Chapman's signature is quite scarce; this is only the second inscribed copy which we have handled.
