Item Description
Title: The Decameron of Giovanni Boccaccio
Translator: John Payne
Publisher: J. P. Horn & Company, Philadelphia
Year: 1928
Format: Hardcover, leather-spined (quarter leather)
Condition Report:
This is an attractive copy for restoration or collection filler. Please review all high-resolution photos carefully before bidding/purchasing.
Structural Condition: The book is in "as-is" condition. Both the front and back boards are completely detached from the text block. The spine leather shows significant wear, flaking, and loss of material, particularly along the hinges.
Text Block: The internal pages are generally clean and in good condition for their age. All leaves appear to be present.
Binding: The internal sewing of the text block appears largely intact, but the book requires professional restoration or rebinding to be functional again.
Overall: This is an excellent project piece for a bookbinder or a collector looking to complete a set where the text block is all that is required.
Please see all attached photos for the exact condition of the spine, boards, and interior pages.
