Milton (John) and Newton (Thomas) Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained, Birmingham: John Baskerville, 1759, 2 vols, 8vo, later full tree calf gilt with raised bands to spines, marbled page edges (2)

Not collated. Some clear condition issues to bindings, with rubbing and bumping to spines and boards (and some more severe areas of loss and scuffing to Paradise Lost); the spines appear to be more modern than the boards and are regular calf (as opposed to the tree calf of the boards). Internal contents are fairly bright, with some foxing and warping.

All Lots are offered for sale in the condition they are in at the time of the sale. You acknowledge that many Lots are of an age and type such that they are not in perfect condition. Catalogue descriptions and condition reports may refer to imperfections of a Lot, but Lots may have other faults not expressly referred to in the Catalogue or condition report. Illustrations are for identification purposes only and may not convey full information as to the actual condition of a Lot. You accept responsibility for carrying out your own inspections and investigations of Lots in which you may be interested. You should inspect a Lot before bidding to determine and to satisfy yourself as to its condition, size, description and whether it has been repaired or restored, as applicable, and we accept bids on Lots solely on this basis. Condition reports may be available to assist when inspecting Lots. Lots will be available for viewing in person at our premises or another location and viewing information will be available on our website.
