Trollope, Anthony — Framley Parsonage

London, Chapman and Hall, 1861. Third edition. Hardcover. three volumes bound in one, "Perhaps the success of the novel in the triple-decker format explains why so few copies were then left to be published in the 3 volumes in 1 format. Whatever the reason, the 3 volumes in 1 format of the novel is exceeding rare, unknown even to Sadleir who scoured the bookshops looking for Trollopes." Blue cloth, gilt on spine. Cloth is grubby. Missing both plates in volume I. One plate in voume 3 has small loss. Needs rebindings as sections are loose. Title pages are dated 1861 333pp 318pp 330pp as first editon. One page of adverts at rear dated November 1863 suggests first edition volumes bound up as one at this late date afer the abbreviated 2nd edition published. Poor.
