Description: Incredible morocco binding from Bayntun Binders of Bath in impeccable condition. This volume was bound for Bretano's Bookstore and features top-of-the-line gilt designs on the covers, extensive gilt patterns on the spine, all page edges gilt, and beautiful intricate gilt on the inside covers and edges. Paired with the gorgeous marbled endpapers, this makes for a book that is a delight to touch and to read. Inside the covers, we have the first volume of Walter Scott's autobiography, in great clean shape, complete with illustrated frontispiece and an engraving of the writer as a young lad on the title page.
