A Reminiscence Of Foreign Travel
By
Joel Cook
With Nearly Five Hundred Illustrations
Porter And Coates
Philadelphia
1882
***  First Edition  ***

This 128 year old book is in terrific condition with just a
couple mentionables.
Absolutely beautiful and gracefully aged full leather binding
with 5 ribbed spine.
Leather covers are heavily embossed with floral design,
and what I believe to be the seal of England as well as
embossed text identical on both front and rear covers.
Five ribbed spine has gilt text as well as accent
design between ribs.
  Binding is tight and solid.  A few pages
have come loose but are undamaged and easily repairable
 All pages accounted for.
All pages are nice and clean and sharp.  Brilliant and near
flawless gilt edges on all three sides.  No writing or scribbling,
No folds or creases,  No rips or tears.  Inside front and rear
covers and adjacent pages marbled with gilt lace like edging.
Frontispiece with original tissue still in tact.
