PRE OWNED ANTIQUE BOOK THE WORKS OF RUDYARD KIPLING ONE VOLUME EDITION The book was owned by my Great Grandfather The soft cover has no copyright date. It has a born and death page of Kipling The book cover is brittle and has some wear. The rest of the book is in decent condition considering the age. The cover corner has bending. Some of the outer spine has broken away at the top. The first few blank pages have some discoloration around the edges, as well as the same thing on the last few blank pages. The pages are clean and the binding is tight. The book measures 5.5" X 7.5" and has 1004 pages. There are no pencil marks or ripped or torn pages. The book has sat on a library style book shelf for the past 40+ years. We thought a collector might enjoy the book rather than to just have it sit and collect dust. Thanx for looking and check back often as we are always adding new merchandise. :D
