The original publisher's green cloth binding remains firm and secure, though it exhibits mild shelf-wear, slightly bumped corners, and rubbing to the extremities. The gilt titling and tooling on the front board and spine retain a pleasing brightness, despite some minor dulling to the spine itself. The text block is tight, with the pages remaining clean and legible, though there is noticeable tanning and darkening to the page edges, and some minor, scattered foxing typical of the paper stock from this era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: This is the third edition of Hilaire Belloc's engaging essay collection, published by Methuen \u0026amp; Co. in January 1910, following the first publication in February 1908.
