SCOTT, Sir Walter. POETICAL WORKS. Complete seven volume set, beautifully bound in cherry red morocco. Bradbury, Agnew & Co., London. ND (1870s). 16mo. This is the "Handy Volume 'Scott'" with the spines in blind ruled compartments, boards ruled in blind, and all edges gilt.

Pagination: vol. I, lxiv, 280; vol. II, xiv, 372; vol. III, xvi, 268; vol. IV, xvii, 272; vol. V, xi, 260; vol. VI, xiv, 251; vol. VII, x, 351: approximately 2,200 pages of commentary and text in a set measuring, in all, barely 6 inches across by 4.5 inches high and 3.25 inches deep. Each volume contains one, or more, full page engravings of scenes from Scott's poems. The set is in exquisite condition, the only observable flaw being a tiny blemish to the base of the spine of volume I, and some very slight shelf wear, generally, to the bottom edges of all the volumes. The yellow endpapers are all clean and tight. The boards are pristine. Overall, in near fine condition. This set would make a wonderful gift.

Price: $175.00 US / $210 Cdn.  (#30399)
