Gibbon, Charles

A handful of his three-deckers
-
Charles Gibbon, who wrote romantic novels of Scotland, is almost forgotten today. Here is a handful of his three-deckers, all first editions and all but one with warm presentation inscriptions from the author to a Mrs. Rose-Innis. This lady, or more likely her progeny, was not very appreciative of these gifts for at one time they have been left in a damp place; with two exceptions the bindings have suffered, but internally they are uniformly fine.
