Health and British Magazines in the Nineteenth Century, E. M. Palmegiano — 1st Edition

Publication: Lanham and London, The Scarecrow Press, Inc., 1998

Formatting: 8vo, pp. [viii], 282.

Condition Report: Near Fine. The publisher's original charcoal-grey cloth binding remains exceptionally sharp and tightly bound, displaying virtually no shelf-wear to the extremities. The spine and front board feature pristine, unrubbed gilt lettering set against black panels, retaining their original brightness without any signs of oxidation. Internally, the text block is clean, crisp, and firmly squared, with the hinges uncracked and the pages free from foxing, age-toning, or previous ownership inscriptions. A highly presentable, firmly structured copy of an academic reference work that was issued without a dust jacket.

Catalogue Note: First edition. This comprehensive bibliographical work was issued by The Scarecrow Press, a publisher renowned for its small-run, highly specialised academic reference texts.

Given the niche subject matter, cataloguing health and medical journalism within 19th-century British periodicals, copies were primarily acquired by institutional libraries rather than the general public, making clean, unblemished copies relatively scarce on the open retail market today.

An essential reference tool for historians of Victorian medicine and publishing, this bibliography meticulously indexes the coverage of health, sanitation, and medical advancements across British magazines during the nineteenth century. By mapping the dissemination of medical knowledge to the general reading public, E. M. Palmegiano provides invaluable insight into the evolving societal attitudes towards public health, disease, and the professionalisation of medicine in Victorian Britain.

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.
