Condition

Fine (as issued): Retaining its original paper packaging and glassine wrapper. Original two-tone cloth boards are in pristine condition, with no wear to extremities; cloth clean and unmarked, gilt crisp and sharp. Spine bright, with publisher’s label immaculate. Binding tight and square. Internally, pages are clean and bright throughout, appearing entirely unread.

A truly exceptional copy, preserved in virtually original state.

Description

Deluxe limited edition, published by William Heinemann in 1953 as part of The Yale Editions of the Private Papers of James Boswell, this being number 768 of 1000 copies issued. Such limited editions, particularly when retaining original packaging and glassine, are increasingly scarce in this state of preservation. Copies surviving in Fine condition, as issued, are seldom encountered on the secondary market. A highly desirable example for collectors of Boswell, scholarly editions, and finely produced limited works.

Boswell on the Grand Tour: Germany and Switzerland, 1764 presents the journals and writings of James Boswell during his travels through Europe. The work captures his observations, encounters, and reflections, offering insight into both his character and the societies he experienced. As part of the Yale scholarly edition, it provides a carefully edited and authoritative presentation of his papers.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
