Item specifics - Antiquarian/Collectible Books
Binding: LeatherSpecial Attributes: 1st Edition
Subject: Literature & FictionPrinting Year: 1885
Topic: ClassicsOrigin: English
This is the First English Edition, published in 1885 by Vizetelly & Co., of Emile Zola's novel, Germinal; or, Master and Man. A Realistic Novel (464 pages).

This is a rebound copy, three-quarter red leather (brownish to spine), with red cloth boards. The spine is worn, with a piece missing from the top, and a crack running half-way down the front edge (see photo). The cover is otherwise in good condition, with light scuffs and minor edge wear, but with a straight spine, on which the gold is unfaded, and with no fade front and back.

The original front cover and spine, brown background with gold lettering, have been re-bound in the back of the book, in sections, after the last printed page, and are bright and unfaded.

The inside is in very good condition. There are no stamps or notations. The binding is tight, with no loose or missing pages. The gilt top edges are partly faded, and there are a few spots to the other edges, but the page faces are clean throughout the book, with the exception of spot stains to the pages adjacent to the re-bound original covers. There are no tears or creases. All the text is unfaded and clean, as in the following photo.
