Mechanics Liens Canada Appraisal

Canadian Mechanics' Liens

The item is a hardcover legal textbook titled "Canadian Mechanics' Liens." The spine of the book is dark, likely black or a very dark blue, with a textured finish that suggests a durable binding material such as buckram or embossed cloth. The title and authors' names are prominently displayed on the spine in gold or light-colored lettering, indicating a quality printing process, possibly gold stamping or foil. The spine is segmented by raised bands or faux bands, typical of classic bookbinding and adding to its structural integrity and aesthetic. Below the title ('Canadian Mechanics' Liens') and authors ('Macaulay and Bruce'), there are what appear to be call numbers or cataloging information ('KN 22.13 MII') followed by the year '1951', which likely denotes the publication year. At the very bottom of the spine, the publisher's name, 'CARSWELL', is visible, also in gold lettering. The book appears to be in excellent condition, showing no significant signs of wear, tears, or discoloration on the spine. The corners and edges of the spine seem sharp and intact, which is consistent with the 'excellent condition' context provided. The pages are tightly bound, and the overall construction quality suggests a well-made volume designed for professional use and longevity. The interior pages, partially visible on the left, appear clean and light-colored, showing no visible foxing or heavy yellowing, further supporting the 'excellent condition' assessment. The overall appearance is that of a well-preserved legal reference book from the mid-20th century.
