Inside the pages are clean and tightly bound. Has scattered tanning and spotting through the text (see photos). The top closed edge is shiny gilt, with spotting to the other two sides. Has a book plate on the front paste down, otherwise this copy has not been written in and there are no other markings of previous ownership. With eight colour plates, plus many more in black and white.

In extremely attractive olive green illustrated cloth covered boards with ornate decoration to the front and spine, and gilt titles. All in top order. Just the odd faint thin scuff, some rounding to the corners and spine ends, and a slight bump on the rear edge near the top - but all minor.

Looking extremely eye-catching on display. Your antique copy of Indian Myth and Legend 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 if desired.

H 22 cm x W 16 cm, 463 pages, 1.1 kg. I dispatch worldwide daily from the UK. (With the exception of a small number of countries).

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