THE CHRISTIAN TEACHING, LEO TOLSTOY [1897] IN SOUTH AFRICA

  Author(s):  Lev (Leo) Tolstoy  Title:      The Christian Teaching  ISBN: none  Important note:  There is no bibliographic information indicated on this book.  I am simply unable to say for certain what the publishing history is.  Similar books on sale abroad list the publishers as Horace Marshall and Co, London (1898) or Brotherhood Publishing Company (1898).  This copy has the year given as 1897, on the half-title page.   Binding: hardcover Dustjacket: none  Number of pages:  Page numbering starts at 359 (at the introduction) and ends at 549, this must mean the book was part of a set, of which the other volumes we do not have.   Weight: 282g  Condition:   This is a very old book, binding is fragile and pages are coming loose.  It seems the book has been rebound at some stage, has all indications of a library-style binding repair, rather than a proper restoration.  Please see pictures.  It has stamps inside from "The Johannesburg Book Club".  Spine and cover cloths also has wear.  This is book will need some restoration if desired.  All offers considered, due to condition.  Please see pictures, as these form part of the description.
