THOREAU, Henry David. WALDEN; OR, LIFE IN THE WOODS. 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 the gilt still bright, are 
bound at the rear, though the eight-page publisher's catalogue has not 
been bound in. With engraved title page and map. 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. (#011384)        $6,500.00
