Description
The Works of Emile Zola One Volume Edition Black's Readers Service HC 1950s Ed. The exterior boards showage-related dryness and are prone to surface cracking at the hinges and edges, so this is best handled with a bit of care, but it still presents nicely in a collection or on a display shelf. Beautiful mid-century hardcover collection of Émile Zola’s works in a single, compact volume. Published by Black’s Readers Service (Walter J. Black, Inc., Roslyn, NY), this 1950s one-volume edition gathers major novels and stories—including Nana and several shorter works—into an easy-to-shelve 12mo format measuring approximately 7.5" x 5.5". The book features tan faux-leather boards with gilt decorative spine and a bold red title panel, giving it a classic library look on the shelf. Interior pages are crisp and fully legible, with typical light age toning that adds to the vintage character. The exterior boards show age-related dryness and are prone to surface cracking at the hinges and edges, so this is best handled with a bit of care, but it still presents nicely in a collection or on a display shelf. A solid choice for readers of classic French literature, Zola enthusiasts, or anyone building a vintage hardback library.
