1898510408Oxford University Press American Branch 1898. Leather. NEAR FINE. 48mo 2.75.4' xl 582pp. Fine binding on India Paper with Smyth-sewn binding in pebbled calfskin with ironed calfskin liner all edges art gilt gilt stamped spine lettering and black place ribbon. Owner's name and inscription to front flyleaf d. 1914 some very trivial rubbing to the spine ends ELSE FINE an exceedingly clean and sharp copy with no signs of wear. An uncommonly nice survival for a devotional book. Although this is listed as the American Branch with New York address we suspect this copy was printed in the UK at the Oxford Bible Press--the fine India paper has the distinct feel of the Wolvercote Mill paper that distinguishes Oxford's India Paper Bibles of this era.
