DUMAS, Alexandre. The Count of Monte Cristo.

New York: A. L. Burt, Publisher, n.d./c1895. In Burt’s “Library of the World’s Best Books.” Two volumes. 7.5” x 5.5”, illustrated with black-and-white plates. Contemporary three-quarter brown leather over marbled paper-covered boards, gilt titling and decorative rules to spines. Gift inscription to front blank reading “Bert, From May, Christmas 1895,” with one further small ownership notation. Bindings remain sound with strong hinges; leather rubbed at extremities and along joints, with expected scuffing and wear to spines and corners. Interiors clean with light age toning and plates well-preserved. Very Good.
