I acquired it in the 1980s and it has been sitting in a drawer ever since! It is "The Surprising Travels and Adventures of Baron Munchausen" by R E Raspe published by J F Dove, St John's Square in 1826. The book is bound in leather with gold embossing but the front cover has come away completely, there is just a fragment of the spine cover which has also come off. There is a sweet little inscription inside the front cover dated 1834. The book itself is in reasonable condition although the pages are discoloured (foxed?). The book measures approximately 5"x3". I have attached some photos. Would this be worth anything - or indeed would it be saleable in this condition? I couldn't bear to throw it away![/QUOTE]
