Indian Summer, William D. Howells, 1886, Ticknor & Co

An 1886 copy of Indian Summer by William D. Howells, published by Ticknor and Company. This former library copy shows clear signs of use, including “Discarded” stamps, worn endpapers, a cracked inner hinge, and exterior rubbing and fraying at the spine. The navy cloth cover with gilt titles remains intact and legible, and the text pages are complete with some age toning and occasional staining. A solid reading copy of a late-19th-century American novel.
