The Astrolearn bookshop is temporarily closed for 14 days Friday December 13th to Thursday December 26th inclusive. This is because of the unreliability of the Christmas post and very high volumes of writing and editing work over this period. Please check back on Friday December 27th, when the shop will reopen and this notice will be removed.

Description
booklet | Simmonite, W. J. | The Daily Guide with Simmonite’s Prognostications on Revolutions or Solar Figures | 1st thus | Foulsham and Co., 4, Pilgrim Street, Ludgate Hill, London | 1891 | £45 | Adapted by John Story from the very rare original edition of 1854 | Original paper covers in rather poor condition, with extensive chipping to upper and outer margins of front cover, peeling tape added to spine, and amateur brown tape repairs to lower margin and lower part of outer margin of front cover, but central illustration and most text of front cover still intact; rear cover with moderate chipping to outer corners, else minor edge-chipping and edge-tears. Contents complete. Title page with light chipping and tearing to outer and upper edges (far from text), but internally a generally very good copy, with no permanent markings or faults to binding found, just a few faint plain-pencilled marginal marks to the ephemerides at the back. Overall, a fair copy of this rare book, that is internally sound and could probably be improved by a skilled book conservator. Price factors in faults |
