Author: D.W. Higgins. Published by William Briggs, Toronto, ON., 1904. 1st Edition. A FAIR Condition HARDCOVER Book, with several issues...cover front, back and spine are clean, stamped in gold on green board. Inside spine is page taped, glue has deteriorated, one page loose but still in book. Inside blank page has written info on several original owners. Tissue is intact over D.W. Higgins portrait page, along with his signature.
This is the original 1904 book, and it looks good, but needs attention to the binding, and may be a project for someone to take on. Please look carefully at the photos, and I can supply more if requested.
