This is an 1894 book called: Play Days.

The book is only in good+ condition, but for a 116 year old book, WHAT A FIND!!

The cloth binding is wonderful, the corners are rounded.

All other pages are fully in tact.

The gold leaf on the cover is pretty much gone, with some dirt on the cover overall from 110 years of being around.

You have to look at the photos. It is 10″ tall x 7-1/4″wide and about 60 pages. (They are not paginated) The book is very viable, and a great old story book, plus just great to look through!! The book has a paper cover. The corners are worn. It is published by W B Conkey, in London, New York, and Chicago.

This is a compilation of old stories and Nursery Rhymes. It is inscribed to the original owner in 1895. The pages are toned, and probably a little brittle, but not crumbling at all. Many pages have been printed in green ink, and it is either light or faded, making it a little harder to read.
