GREEN, J.H. (1813 ? 87). An Exposure of the Arts & Miseries of Gambling. Philadelphia: G.B. Zieber & Co., 1847. Fifth Edition. Original pebbled brown calf with gilt cornucopia device stamped in both panels inside decorative extra-gilt borders and rules, spine lettered and tooled in gilt, A.E.G., with patterned endsheets similar to early playing card back designs. Plates and tables in text. 8vo. Foxed, extremities rubbed, spine evenly toned. Very good, and the first example of this binding we have encountered.
