About This Item

Bernhard Tauchnitz, Leipzig, 1871. Copyright edition.. Hardback. Half calf, VG. 320+320pp, two volumes in one, leather rubbed somewhat at the edges, paper a little spotted, a good copy. Tauchnitz edition, published the same year as the trade edition by Sampson Low & Marston. Considered Black's best work, the story is that of a young & spirited boy, son of a Presbyterian minister who lives on the west coast of the Scottish Highlands. He falls for his cousin, a French girl who's disposition is at odds with the staunch Puritanism of the village. Black's gift for descriptive prose describes the Scottish scenery well.

Synopsis

Terms of Sale

Eastleach Books

All our books offered are in at least good condition, with the majority very good and better. Descriptions are brief, but PLEASE ask for more detail if required. We can scan books & jackets, signatures etc. MINOR inscriptions ignored in NON FICTION titles, unless really detrimental to the book - but then a 150 year old ink name adds character surely? Modern hardbacks are described as being Cloth bound, even though predominantly they come in paper covered boards pressed to look like cloth. Book grades are given book then dustjacket (if any) Running from F - Fine, VG - Very Good, G - Good, P - Poor. A fine book will look almost like the day it was bought, a VG one will have some evidence of prior ownership, G means a nice clean copy, obviously secondhand & P implies a COMPLETE copy that has suffered a hard life & will need some TLC. We take into account the books age when grading, so a 250 year old book graded as VG will look more second hand that a 5 year old book graded the same. On the Net since 1998. All prices are in GBP. Payment can be made by Visa, Mastercard, Switch & Solo or JCB. After your order is placed, FAX your card details etc to +44 (0)1635 48444. Any Book may be returned - but please let us know prior to sending a book back. We wrap each book individually and don't just stick em in a jiffy bag with a prayer. Paperbacks are packed with card stiffeners. WE BUY BOOKS! Happy reading!
