This is a set of two gorgeous red and gold antique books - The First Violin by Jessie Fothergill and The Hinderers by Edna Lyall. The Hinderers was published by Longmans, Green, and Co. in 1902. The First Violin was published by Hurst & Company sometime before 1911. The Hinderers has a textured red cover with lettering in gold and a geometric motif.

The books are in good antique condition for their age and use. Both books were library discards and have library stamps as well as library rules within their pages.

Both books have wear to the corners and edges with some areas of discoloration to the covers. The First Violin also has ink inscriptions. C. B. Acuff wrote their name in ink inside the front cover and Bert Stapp wrote, "Presented to C.B. Acuff -By- Bert Stapp December 25, 1911. Leadwood, Mo." inside the back cover. The pages are yellowed in both books.
