Item History & Price
THE LAST BOOK OF WONDER By Lord Dunsany. John W. Luce & Company, Boston, Hardcover, "copyright 1916." 213 pages, ~7.75" x 5.25", 6 glossy B & W illustrations by S. H. Sime. Collection of fantasy stories, published around 1916, probably a reprint.
I've had the book for 40 years (bagged up on the shelf) and it's in decent shape for 100 years old. Some of the flaws I see: shelf wear on the bottom edges, fading and bumping of the spine, darkening of... the pages and bookseller pencil notes last page "12.50/L20 7/80." The top of the text block is a little dusty, and the other edges of the text block have that "untrimmed" kind of ragged appearance, as published. Please study the photos carefully and assess the condition for yourself. (If you notice a round, fuzzy spot on the left center of the photos, it's in the camera and not on the book.)
