The Book Shed

In dust jackets. Shelf wear, page edges spotted, dusty, a whimsical bookplate of the librarian and bookman Joseph L. Wheeler, designed by the British artist C. Walter Hodges to front endpaper; jackets are worn with several tears, windows cut out at titles. Published for the centennial of Thackeray's birth. These are volumes 12 and 13 in The Centenary Biographical Edition of W. M. Thackeray's Complete Works. From Wikipedia: "...almost a miniature education in the Victorian era. Thackeray mentions poets, painters, novelists (some of the characters are reading Oliver Twist), politics, and other people, events and things both familiar and obscure to the 21st-century reader — and does so in a natural way that enhances the story." 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hard Cover. Most items ship with tracking numbers and (generally over $15.00) jacket protectors if applicable. Clean recycled packing material will be used when possible.
