This item is an antique legal textbook titled "Palmer's Company Law," specifically the Thirteenth Edition. It is described as "A PRACTICAL BOOK FOR LAWYERS AND BUSINESS MEN." The book includes an appendix containing the "COMPANIES ACT, 1929, AND THE COMPANIES (WINDING-UP) RULES." The authors are listed as ALFRED F. TOPHAM, LL.M., and it was assisted by ALFRED R. TAYLOUR, M.A. The publisher is STEVENS AND SONS, LIMITED, located at 119 & 120, CHANCERY LANE, London, identified as 'Law Publishers.' The publication year is clearly stated as 1929, establishing its age and historical context. The visible page is an off-white or cream color, indicative of aged paper. The text is printed in black ink with varying font sizes and styles to differentiate between the title, subtitle, contents, and publication details. The overall construction appears to be a stitched or bound volume, with the spine and cover not fully visible but the pages showing typical book binding. The condition is noted as good, suggesting minimal wear and tear, with no significant visible creases, tears, or discoloration on the title page. The paper shows a natural patina consistent with its age, but without any severe foxing or brittleness. The craftsmanship appears professional, typical of established law publishers of the era.
