THOREAU, Henry David. WALDEN. Boston: Ticknor & Fields, 1854. First 
Edition. Rebound around the turn of the twentieth century by Crombie & 
Lamothe in 3/4 brown morocco and marbled paper boards with five raised 
bands and gilt ruling and lettering, matching marbled paper used as 
pastedowns and endpapers. The original cloth covers and spine, in very 
nice condition with gilt still bright, bound at rear, though the 
eight-page publisher's catalogue has not been bound in. Engraved title 
page and map inserted. There is a marginal dampstain in the outer top 
and bottom corners throughout, except on the map, rarely just touching 
the text but mostly not affecting any text. Small, neat bookplate of 
Abram Joseph Abeloff on the front endpaper. Very minor rubbing to 
joints. Very Good or better in an attractive binding.         $6,500.00
