Original royal blue blind-stamped cloth on boards. Both titles and author in gilt on spine only. A rare issue, with no others found. Men's Wives (274 pp.) is dated 1868, while The Book of Snobs (278 pp.) is dated 1870. Generally grubby and a little dampstained, but not marked except with previous owner's small, stylish name stamp, "Solomon Davis". The Book of Snobs is complete, containing the "political" chapters which were sometimes omitted. Several pages of ads complete the volume.
