John Jasper's Secret: Being a Narrative of Certain Events Following and Explaining "The Mystery of Edwin Drood." by Charles Dickens. Publishing Offices: No. 342, Strand. 1872. 5 1/2" x 8 1/4" 252 page Hardcover with no dust jacket. Rebound with leather spine and cover corners. Black labels on the spine with gilt lettering and lines. Covers have light edge wear. Rubber stamped on the edges of page block 'OBU Library' in small letters. Endpapers were part of the rebind. Light foxing on the reverse side of the frontispiece and maybe a tiny bit on the next few pages. On the top of the title page written in neat pencil is 'Charles Dickens'. On the corner of the page is a gray stain, maybe a thumb print. On the 'List of Illustrations' page are a couple of discrete library rubber stamps. I see no other previous owner markings. No tears, folds or creases to pages. Binding is tight with no looseness to pages. Not remaindered and not a facsimile reprint. For sale by Jon Wobber, bookseller since 1978. IE22A
