The second jungle book
1895, First Edition. London ; New York : Macmillan and Co. Good copy only in a crude leather binding, now lightly scuffed and rubbed at the extremities; spine with raised bands and gilt-blocked leather labels. All edges gilt and worn. Text block remains tight, showing faint foxing throughout; p. 217 through the end shows worming to both outside corners, with text unaffected. A strong and very serviceable example overall.
