2006 Ruth by Elizabeth Gaskell / The Folio Society, London / With Ten Illustrations / In Original Slipcase

Here is a lovely vintage copy of Ruth by Elizabeth Gaskell. This edition was originally published by The Folio Society in 2006, and this copy is one of those first editions. With a colour frontispiece and nine more black and white illustrations. The book is in excellent condition, with a little wear to the slipcase box, detailed below).

Produced to the usual high quality standards to be expected of The Folio Society on Caxton Wove paper. Inside the pages are clean, bright and tightly bound with no writing or marks.

In a beautifully decorative cloth binding with a gilt title plate. Again in top order having been well protected by the slipcase.

The slipcase itself has some wear. There is a scuff on one side where it looks as if a price label has been removed. There is scuffing also along the outer edge on the other side (see photos). Otherwise clean, smart and should continue to protect the book for many more years to come.

Your vintage copy of Gaskell's Ruth 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.

Boxed H 23.5 cm x W 16 cm, 373 pages, 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.
