1953 Shirley by Jane Austen / Collins, London / Elegant Vintage Faux Leather Copy in Original Slipcase Box / In Very Good Condition

In very good condition here is a lovely vintage copy of Charlotte Bronte's novel Shirley. A faux leather edition in the original slipcase box. 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. With no writing or any other markings of previous ownership. The book opens with a short biography and ends with a bibliography. Has a portrait frontispiece, otherwise this is an unillustrated edition. There is a dark red book marker ribbon sewn-in. The top closed edge is shiny gilt.

The original papered slipcase box is also in top condition, with just a little rubbing to the corners.

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

Your vintage copy of Shirley 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, 512 pages, 0.33 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.
