A propos de cet article

383 pages, illustrated with black and white plates. Pages 303 to 318 suffer from a tiny stain towards the tail, which could be cigarette caused. It is very light beginning and end, heavier in the middle. Overall a clean, unmarked and solid copy. The book offers no publishing date, 1900?

Description de la boutique

Good Reading was established in 1991. In early 2013, I downsized from a shop which spanned a block and two stories to a largish house which resembles a rabbit warren. There are at approximately 40,000 titles, including over 10,000 books in Italian, French, German, Modern Greek, Latin and classical Greek., most of which have not yet been catalogued. I also have a very large Theology section, and a substantial cookery and Australian History one. Please contact me if there is a specific title you are chasing as it may be languishing on the shelf uncatalogued. All enquiries will be answered promptly, books will be mailed out swaddled like Russian babies, and all faults honestly described. I do a full refund for any book sporting nasty surprises.…
