Title: The Oriental Story Book: A Collection of Tales
Description: New York, NY, D. Appleton & Co. 1855. 1st Edition, 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. Hardcover. Orr, J. W. First printing. Pp. 219, color frontis of soldiers on horseback + 3 full-page color plates in text, a number of small engravings throughout the text, 12mo format in patterned burgundy buckram with gilt spine titles. This is a former school library copy with a few very old inked notations: e.g. "Colbourne Pres. S. S. Library No. 76". The original binding is holding well, however the cloth is worn at the tips and faded. The front free end paper has been excised. The contents are firmly bound with no loose pages. There is quite a bit of foxing and staining to the text, but the book is still readable. A usable copy of this rare item. Fair/No Jacket.
