Title: Lot of Four Books by William Hone Author: Hone, William Place: London Publisher: William Tegg Date: Circa 1850 Description: Comprises: Hone's Every-Day Book and Table Book; or Everlasting Calendar of Popular Amusements, Volumes 1 & 3 (and) Hone's Year Book of Daily Recreation and Information, two copies; one undated, one dated 1850. Various paginations, illustrated with wood engravings in the text. All 8½x5, period half morocco and marbled boards, morocco lettering pieces. Early Editions. Three of the volumes apparently make up a mixed set of Hones; i.e., the undated "Year Book" is uniform with volumes 1 & 3 of the "Every-Day Book" and seems to complete it. A fascinating compilation of historical, cultural, and literary minutia and trivia concerning just about anything - including golf. Lot Amendments Condition: Volumes all moderately worn but complete and making a handsome set, good to very good. Item number: 171347
