A charming vintage edition of the famous 17th-century diaries of Samuel Pepys. This single-volume publication features gilt titles on the spine, gilt to top edges of pages, built-in ribbon marker.
This specific copy has a lovely Gore School Presentation Plate dated 1931 pasted to the ffep.

PLEASE NOTE: Damaged spine has been previously repaired/stabilised but still has tears, chipping and a little loss to cloth. Binding is firm, no loose pages.
Cover is possible leather or high-quality textured cloth/leatherette with bright gilt titles to the spine and front cover. Rubbing and edge wear consistent with its age.
Interior: Pages are tanned/age-toned with a little creasing and foxing otherwise very good.
Overall: Very Good reading and display copy with firm binding and clear local provenance.
A wonderful addition to any history lover's bookshelf or a collector of vintage NZ school prize books.
