The gilt tooling and Royal Drawing Society crest remain bright and clear, with slight wear noticeable on the raised bands where handling is most frequent. Internally, the pages are clean with light toning typical of the period and occasional minor foxing near the illustrated plates. The hinges appear sound and the binding is structurally stable. A fine and visually appealing copy of a well-regarded Edwardian travel title in an uncommonly attractive presentation binding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49808029810966,"sku":"AMD-0393","price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/6D449F81-0998-41BC-BCF2-4E3FF466973A.jpg?v=1759769937","url":"https:\/\/austynmariedesign.com\/products\/highways-byways-sussex-1912-red-leather","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
