KIPLING. RUDYARD. — KIM.

Macmillan and Co. Ltd. London. 1901. FIRST EDITION. 1st impression. 8vo. (8 x 5.4 inches). Ten mono plates by J. Lockwood Kipling. A little foxing to the endpapers, and slightly to the first couple of leaves, otherwise a very good fresh and clean copy throughout. Attractive previous owner engraved bookplate to the front pastedown endpaper. In the original publishers dark red cloth binding. Front board with circular gilt elephant device. Spine lettered in gilt. Top edge gilt. Very good sharp corners and the gilt still bright on the spine and front board. Some very light marking to the cloth and an area of bubbling to the spine but still a better copy than usually encountered. Overall very good indeed.
