The book is close to pristine; it remains bright and attractive, showing only minor imperfections to the extremities of the leather boards. The silver-plated filigree cross plaque on the front board is remarkably unoxidised, retaining a brilliant, unblemished finish. The binding is structurally very tight and square. Internally, the pages are exceptionally clean, bright, and completely unmarked, while the silvered page edges retain a flawless, striking sheen. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCatalogue Note:\u003c\/b\u003e This is a lovely miniature edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Common Prayer\u003c\/i\u003e, featuring a striking silver-plated filigree cross plaque mounted on the front board. It is elegantly bound in fine black English leather. While miniature and pocket-sized devotional works were produced in large numbers during the early-to-mid 20th century, finding a copy where the metalwork remains so completely untarnished and the leather so remarkably fresh is genuinely scarce on the open market. The title page bears the Collins' Clear-Type Press code '20', typical of their specialised miniature series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBlurb:\u003c\/b\u003e A charming miniature edition of the Book of Common Prayer, beautifully bound in fine black leather and adorned with an ornate silver-plated cross.
