This is a very nice copy of the True First Edition of this timeless classic. There is minor marring to the blue cloth binding and the inlaid gilt snake on the front board is virtually without rubbing and quite bright. There is a bit of shelfwear to the extreme top and bottom of the spine panel but all of the cloth is present. There is a very slight flaw to the front pastedown where the paper seems to have been scratched off in a tiny area near the hinge. In the rear of the volume there is a superficial split between the rfep and the rear pastedown but the hinge is quite strong. It is about half the height of the octavo volume. All edges are gilt and the gilt is in very nice condition. The textblock is virtually pristine with the barest touch of foxing now and then. The book is very nicely illustrated by J. Lockwood Kipling. We are pleased to send pictures on request.
