<p>[QUOTE="2manycats, post: 1569547, member: 13761"]OK. These endsheets were first used in 1910 and 1909, and were the ones still in use as of 1971. The tan covers are the usual British version - American ones are typically green. I see no reason not to believe the date written with the name, 1953, is the year the book was printed. It would have had a jacket when issued; with neither jacket nor spine (though it looks like the spine is still there in your pictures?) it is, sorry, nothing special. One last thing to check - 85 pages, or 59? Later printings had fewer blank pages, though my reference is unclear as to when this change occurred.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
