A tight and handsome "New Edition Thoroughly Revised" of this 1893 diminutive classic. Meant for vest pocket use, it was published with rounded corners and thumb tabs to facilitate finding the start of each letter. This particular printing sponsored by The Columbia Carbon Co. (remember carbon paper?), whose advertising fills both endpapers and whose quaint color plate graces each pastedown. An all-around sharp copy -- and surprisingly uncommon in nice condition.
Price: $35.00
