I have 5 various volumes of this antique book publication titled St Nicholas An Illustrated Magazine for Young Folks. I have the following volumes:  II, IX,VIII, XI and XII. These are copyright 1884  and published by the press of Theo L De Vinne & Co. New York. Tons of illustrations in each book. A child could spend hours and hours with these great books! Pages are in good condition, no tears, dog ears. But bindings are very worn as shown with titles in gold almost completely worn off and a few gashes on the bindings of 2. These are linen over hard covers. Measures 9.5" tall by 8" wide.
