Description
Dana's Series of Mineralogies: Minerals and How to Study Them, by Edward Salisbury Dana (2nd Edition - Third Thousand). Published by John Wiley and Sons in New York, 1879. Dark blue, hardcover binding with gilt, embossed crystal on the front cover.In good condition overall; tight binding with well-retained edges and corners, considering age. Book in relatively good shape with a few minor conditional notes: Very light edge wear overall; slightly bumped corners, light rubbing to the crown and foot of spine, and rubbing on the back cover. Small, 1/4" white spot on middle-left of spine (see pics). Faint damp staining along lower page edge, extends up into pages about 1/4"-1/2". A little bit of stiffness to pages. Overall, solid copy -- damp staining is minimal. A price is numbered in pencil on front endpaper inside of front cover. Otherwise, clean text throughout, no underlining or written notes that I noticed. See photos for more details.
