Default A Major Brag - Waverley 1st

I am in shock.

Today at a friends of the library book sale, I picked up volumes 2 and 3 of the
first edition of Sir Walter Scott's _Waverley; or, 'Tis Sixty Years After_.
Edinburgh 1814, Printed by Ballantyne and Co. for Archibald Constable and Co.,
brown marbled boards, quarter bound in calf, gilt lines and titles on spine with
gilt on burgundy leather title pastedowns. Scott's name never shows; it was
published anonymously. The two volumes are in very good condition, with half
titles and all required blank pages intact. Vol 2 has the first issue misprints
on pages 136, 256. Cost: $1.00 each.
