Six months of the famed magazine bound together, from November 1886 to April 1887.

Each issue of St. Nicholas includes stories, often by well-known authors, as well as dozens of charming illustrations, photos, riddles, poems, letters, and non-fiction articles written for young people. These issues include and stories by Louisa May Alcott, Mary Mapes Dodge and many others; "conducted" (edited) by Mrs. Dodge. This delightful collection of magazines provides an insight into the way of life in the US early in the latter half of the 19th Century.

Monthly issues of the magazine bound into this volume, without their original monthly covers/wraps. In black half leather and dark brown cloth, with gilt-stamped spine titling and the name "H. F. Lunt" stamped in gilt to front cover.

*A NOTE ABOUT USED BOOKS AND CONDITION VALUES:
I rate books and dust jackets on a scale from AS NEW to POOR, as follows:
AS NEW - Used when the book or dust jacket is in the same immaculate condition as when it was published, with no defects. 
FINE - Approaches the condition of AS NEW, but lacking the crispness of a new book. These books or dust jackets should have no defects.
NEAR FINE - Approaching FINE but with slight flaws.
VERY GOOD - Describes a book or dust jacket that does show some small signs of wear or slight damage.
GOOD - Describes the average used worn book or jacket that has flaws and/or damages. (An old bookseller said it best, "In rare books, Good ain't good".) 
FAIR - Worn book or jacket that is stained, has loose pages, tears, or otherwise has some sort of significant damage or other issue.
POOR - Describes a book that is worn, damaged, stained or otherwise beat-up, making it useful as a reading copy but possibly not a collector copy. A POOR dust jacket is likely heavily torn, chipped or otherwise damaged.

(A  ' + ' or a ' - ' can indicate a shading of these values...either a nudge up, or a nudge down.)
