Gorgeous Franklin Library The Iliad by Homer (1979 edition). This gorgeous book is in VERY GOOD condition. Tight binding, and gilt edges are near pristine with only a few small rubs (see pictures). Perhaps only opened by me to verify publisher and take pictures. It is full leather with decorative marbled end pages, and satin book mark. It is full leather with a RARE COVER! It is my understanding that it is a first edition first printing, a first run printing prior to being designated a title in the "100 Greatest..." series. Brown and gold full leather binding, raised hubs, and gold gilt edges. 8vo - roughly 9" x 6". 664 pages. Contemporary translation by Robert Fitzgerald. Illustrations by W. T. Mars. Please note that those are shadows from my camera on the title and other interior page pictures, not stains, blemishes or watermarks.No returns and sold AS IS, but am happy to answer any questions of provide additional pictures. I want you to be completely happy with your purchase. Payment is expected within 48 hours of auction end unless other arrangements have been made in advance, and item will ship within 1-3 business days of payment verification.
