Imitation of Christ by Thomas A'Kempis (HC circa late 1800s-early 1900s)

Description: "Imitation of Christ" was written by Thomas A'Kempis. It was published by Hurst & Co, New York. This book is not dated, but Hurst & Company published books only from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. That is where the circa date in the title comes from. It is a small hardcover book measuring 4.25x6". 228 pages that show tanning due to age. There is a frontispiece inside but no other illustrations inside. There are some dirty/age spots inside, especially inside the front and back covers and opposite the glossy paper of the frontispiece. The top edges of the pages are gold-leafed. The previous owner wrote inside the front cover. The woven cover is dirty and there are a few stray pencil marks. There is a mar on the paper image on the back (pictured). The edges and corners are worn with the boards visible. You can see some thinning of the threads at the top and bottom of the spine but the book is intact. The spine is a bit loose. No ripped or missing pages. I found one dog-eared corner. Some of the printing is a bit 'globby' but it was printed this way and is not a flaw. Just a wonderful antique book.
