Spenser, Edmund. [FAERIE QUEENE.] [London: Lownes, 1609.] Folio. Lacks title-page and final blank; pages 1-10 supplied from another copy (laid in, a with loss from some repaired chips.) Collates 363, [15] pp. Early marbled boards detached.First one-volume folio edition of this classic work. This copy compared to the digital copy available on Archive.org, which also contains the "Letter of the Authors" in 14 pages at the end, as it does here (does not appear in all copies.)

Mostly clean, and those mentioned above in the first 10 pages are chipped/repaired with some loss. Some sections detached, occasional light soiling, foxing, or similar. Boards detached and worn. It appears this copy was at some time bound in a larger volume of Spenser's works, which someone had bound together. Sold here as-is, with defects.
