Prentice, rebound at some point in modern brown buckram, with new pastedowns and endpapers, gilt titles at spine, and what appears to be a neatly trimmed section of the original cover laid-down professionally, all edges marbled, minor general wear, a few very small faded spots noted at spine head, bookplate at front pastedown, autograph note signed - ANS - laid-in, inscribed and signed by the third author, "Mrs. Sallie Price / with compliments of her friend / G. C. Kniffin / Christmas 1895." There is a short ink note at front fly, apparently written by Mrs Price, with the names Sallie Price Ferren, Agnes Price Vogelsang, and Irene Ruth Wilkinson. A well-preserved copy overall. Confusion has long existed concerning the titles in this series -- even among booksellers -- because the authors referred to each Volume as an Edition, thus some researchers believed that each Edition included multiple volumes in a set, which is not the case. Nine editions total (i. e. nine volumes) were published, with two being labeled number 8. According to the publisher, each edition contained a History of the State with its ties to early Virginia, a section of brief histories of each of Kentucky's 118 counties, followed by appendices, one of which contained a listing of both Federal and Confederate Troops in service from Kentucky, then a section of biographical sketches of persons specific to various counties depending on the edition. The biographical sketches are not present in this volume. Scarce.. Book. Book Condition: VG. Binding: Hardcover Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
