389pp inc index, frontis (port of Sloane attributed to Kneller) and 8 other illustrations - Comprehensive biography Hans Sloane, physician to the Royal family and others of the great and good of the 18th Century, and an avid collector of "birds, beasts, insects, objects of art and antiquity, jewellery, coins, manuscripts." That collection went on to form the nucleus of the British Museum.
DJ (not price-clipped and now in protective sleeve) is edgeworn, sunned to the spine and has a small open tear at the spine head and a larger one at the lower spine edge of the front panel.(not detrimental to titles or artwork) and some nicks and tiny . Covers (black cloth with gilt black titles to spine) has a minuscule amount of edgewear. Textblock has light foxing to EPs but otherwise immaculate. Unlike some dealers, we don't describe our books with "maybes" (indicating they probably don't even have the book but will have to source it from a third party). The book is as described or your money back.
