Gambling Exposed - 19th Century Binding


This week's feature is a rare and beautiful copy of Gambling Exposed, by "The Reformed Gambler" Jonathan H. Green. It is one of several books he wrote to expose the inside workings and vices of gambling after spending his early years as a professional gambler. 
It is a beautiful example of 19th century binding, with blind tooling, elaborately illustrated covers, and gilt accents.
