The Breath of the Gods, Antique Edition

Deep teal cloth, gilt still bright in the lettering, a novel from another century.

The boards are bound in a blue green cloth that has held its colour, stamped on the front and spine in gold with a curling art nouveau device. The corners have gone soft and the spine ends are rubbed, which is how a book this old should look. An inch and a half at the spine gives it weight in the hand.

Sidney McCall on the title page. Bought for the way it sits rather than the way it reads. Stack it, lean it, slide it under a lamp or a small bronze. Colour this good is hard to find twice.

Antique and honestly worn. Rubbed edges and soft corners, consistent with age.
