Paris, Chez Guillyn, Libraire, Quai des Augustins, pres du Pont S. Michel, au Lys d'Or, 1762. . Hardcover. Size: 12mo 7" - 7. This is a perfectly serviceable reference copy; nothing fancy, but complete and sturdy, a helpful guide to the marks and names and logos of leading French makers of pottery, silverware, and the like. It is clean internally except for a margin stain affecting 20 pages but that doesn't affect text or illustrations. Surely a rebind from some point in the past but still strong and sturdy. Coverings to perhaps original boards are sympathetic to period (1762) and feature four fleurs-de-lis to both front and rear and miniscule dentelles surrounding ruled borders, too. Backstrip is moderately worn and scuffed but features five raised bands, and a neatly affixed leather label into which has been gilt-stamped the title, and with publication date to spine bottom. Octavo in format, lv + 414 pp. Illustrated and printed paper wrappers. Half a dozen black-and-white folding plates and many more black-and-white illustrations. All three edges stained red. Still a moderatly sturdy volume that looks great on the shelf, and with a remarkably clean interior.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . . Good
