Description: x 221p tall format, paper covered boards with old paper repairs to outer hinges, inside boards front and back are covered with a bright colour illustration (hand coloured? floral blossoms ) of unknown origin, the edges of this volume are rough-cut and have never been trimmed. The absence of any tell-tale signs of leather beneath decorative paper cover would indicate that this is an early binding. There is an old paper repair to the inner hinge of the title page, and there is no free front endpaper: Make what you will, it is surely an unusual binding that will reward further study
