Sir Walter Scott — Guy Mannering; or, the Astrologer. Volume I
Edinburgh , James Ballantyne and Co. 1815. First edition. Cloth. A first edition of this popular novel by Sir Walter Scott, volume one of three. Released anonymously, or, at least under the moniker 'The Author of "Waverley"', the book was a huge success upon release, selling out on the first day of publication. Rebound in cloth binding with decorative paper-covered boards. Externally very smart indeed, there is only some very minor shelfwear. Internally, the pages are firmly bound and are generally bright and clean, aside from the usual foxing to endpages. There is an inkstamp to pastedown. Very Good Indeed . Ill.: None. Very Good Indeed .
