A propos de cet article

You can see the covers in the photos. They have some wear, particularly at the top edge of the front and rear covers involving some minor loss and surface erosion. There is also a bump crease at the bottom right-hand corner of the front which has in turn created a similar small dent in the same place on most of the pages. The inside covers and end papers are a light blue. They are very clean. You are of course getting the reverse side of the same narrow loss that you see on the covers, but none of the spots of erosion. There is also a small bookplate on the front inside cover of a Francis Jay Underhill. Here is the first paragraph of his Wikipedia profile: 'Francis Jay Underhill was an author, amateur musician, and American bond broker with two firms, Fisk & Robinson and later with J. & W. Seligman & Co., that played a leading role in the financing and construction of the Panama Canal. Owing to his commercial success, Underhill was a collector of art and musical instruments, including many engravings, etchings, and lithographs of noted European and American artists. Underhill was an amateur musician and acquired an Antonio Stradivari violin of 1732 called the "Red Diamond." Underhill was also 4th President of the Underhill Society of America.' Easy to understand why he owned this book. Back to the condition of the book: the pages, excluding the corner dent, are in excellent condition. They are very clean and bright. In fact I don't see any soiling at all. There are a good many illustrations and they all seem to be in excellent shape, very clean, no wear. Again, excluding the bottom corner dent, I don't see any other kinds of creasing, no dogeared corners, no placeholder creases. There are also no markings. There is one penciled word at the bottom of page 5. Mr. Underhill( presumably) crossed out the word 'every' in the sentence 'In the Low Countries every bell of a carillon has its name.' Below in the margin he wrote the words 'many a'. However he must've approved of everything else because there is no other writing of any kind to be found anywhere else in the book. And that, I believe covers everything. Take a look at the photos.…

Description de la boutique

Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…
