The volume is presented in its original publisher's boards, retaining the original printed paper title label to the spine. The binding exhibits expected signs of age and historical handling; the boards are darkened and soiled, with a notable circular abrasion to the front cover, while the spine ends are worn and the label is slightly chipped. The text block remains remarkably in its original uncut state, with wonderfully raw deckle edges that are uniformly dusty and toned. The binding itself remains relatively sound, though it exhibits some inner tenderness, most notably evidenced by an old, amateur paper-tape repair along the inner gutter of the title page and its verso. Internally, the pages are inevitably age-toned with scattered spotting and occasional handling marks throughout, remaining entirely legible and largely clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note:\u003c\/b\u003e First published in 1807, \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"41\"\u003eThe Stranger in Liverpool\u003c\/i\u003e became an essential and highly successful topographical guide to the rapidly expanding port city, undergoing numerous updates as the landscape evolved.
