Violin Makers and Violin Tone

First edition, first impression.  xviii, 278pp.  Orange cloth-covered boards with black lettering front and spine.  8vo.  Cloth heavily worn, unevenly faded, rubbed and rounded at corners and spine ends, marked, cracked and fraying along rear spine joint. Text block edges toned.  Extensive annotations and notes inked on endpapers and blanks front and rear, and underlining and marginal marks in text.  Hinges cracked with webbing visible and some gutters strained.  Some toning and spotting on pages throughout.  Shaken and skewed.

A very hard to find volume; although far from a pretty copy, this one has the benefit of a being complete and reasonably robust, making it a good working/reference copy or one that may fill a gap in a collection until a better copy can be sourced and afforded.
