A propos de cet article

Original red simulated leather (flexible cardboard) covers, 4 ½ x 7 ¾ inches, 149 pp, glossy coated paper, illustrated with frontispiece of author. Very good to near fine. Minor shelf wear, a few drop marks on covers, otherwise tight, clean, paper crisp, unmarked and apparently never read. Per introduction, "It was with the hope of shedding light on embalming and the proper use of embalming fluid and the treatment of obstinate cases in embalming that this little book was written." Sections on the vascular system, important arteries and veins, embalming technique, and perhaps most interesting, the treatment of special cases such as tuberculosis, amputations, infant embalming and elephantiasis, the latter of which includes a detailed case study of the unfortunate Miss Maude Higgins who weighed 825 pounds as a result of the disease and had to be buried in a special coffin in two graves in St. Michael's Cemetery. Author was president of the Collier School of Embalming Technique in NYC. Rare; no copies on OCLC. Funeral parlor; mortician; mortuary science; undertaking; medicine. …

Description de la boutique

Nestled in a valley in the Endless Mountains, where the temperature can dip below freezing even in mid-June, sits Frost Pocket Farm. While our harvest of organic produce may be subject to the whims of nature, the crop of books is always a good one. The selection is as varied as the interests of its proprietor. A native of NYC, who dissipated his youth and more mature years in used bookstores and reading, as well as earning degrees in history, biology, banking and counseling plus studying 2 years at the University of Paris, he is constantly acquiring quaint and curious volumes, as well as the more mundane, on every imaginable subject. Low overhead means low prices geared towards the trade and the savvy retail client. To the extent possible, we use recycled packaging material (economy and ecology are both dervied from the same Greek root), and all books are shipped in corrugated cardboard. Every attempt is made to accurately describe the books, including their faults, and everything is completely guaranteed! (Sorry, we are strictly mail order, and due to insurance and other concerns cannot accomodate visitors.) On-line booksellers since 1996; ancient for this business!…
