Hubbard Publishing 1897 Printed Wrapper Good No Jacket 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Cox, Palmer

All pages firmly attached by a stapled binding. Staples appear to have been replaced but there are some small rust stains around them. Spine has been reinforced with transparent archival tape. One page has a 1" closed tear and several have very tiny (about 1/16") edge tears.
