1953 Emma by Jane Austen / Collins, London / Elegant Vintage Faux Leather Copy in Original Slipcase Box / In Excellent Condition

In very good condition here is a lovely vintage copy of Jane Austen's novel Emma. A faux leather edition in the original slipcase box and also still in the original glassine sleeve - these very rarely survive. Being a first edition thus, published by Collins, London. The book appears un-read and is really in top-notch order.

The pages are clean, bright and tightly bound. Has an original price in pencil on the front free endpaper. The book opens with a short biography and ends with a bibliography. This is an unillustrated edition. There is a dark red book marker ribbon sewn-in. The glassine wrapper has a small nick at the top of the spine. The top closed edge is shiny gilt.

The original papered slipcase box is also in top condition, with just some very slight rubbing to the edges.

The red faux leather is also superb, with gilt titles and snowflakes on the spine.

Your vintage copy of Emma will be wrapped with care in tissue and ribbon* and sent well packaged. I am always happy to add a gift card with a message to the parcel.

H 19.5 cm x W 12.5 cm, 378 pages, 0.31 kg. I dispatch worldwide daily from the UK (with the exception of a small number of countries).

* If you would prefer for your parcel not to be decoratively wrapped but sent simply in the full protective packaging, please add a note to the order.
