A propos de cet article

FIRST EDITION EDITED BY SIR WALTER SCOTT - IN FULL LEATHER WITH GILT TITLES : First published in 1728 as The Memoirs of an English Officer and attributed to Daniel Defoel. Had long been suggested that Capt George Carleton was a fictional character, but it is now considered a genuine memoir. A lively account of campaigning in Flanders and Spain during the War of the Spanish Succession. The author was for some years a prisoner of war in Spain, and makes some colourful observations on the country and its people. Nice example in contemporary full speckled calf, with gilt decorations to spine. Secure, clean and tightly bound. Pages clean, toning and fox spotting.Handles and presents well. p. title page, xxiii, [1], 463, [1].

Description de la boutique

I have collected books most of my life. My collection has reduced now to about 4,000 items. I list a few more as time goes by! It is difficult sometimes to allow old friends to move on. Of course, they can find fresh enthusiasm from their new owners. No matter how many items you handle, there's always excitement and interest. It is vital however that my items are described accurately and I would hope to offer good value. If you see something that you feel is 'too high' for your pocket, don't hesitate to make me an offer. I try to keep the postage costs down, and within the United Kingdom this will be free. Posting abroad will be competitive, and often I will not ask for additional amounts if this is viable. But weight of items is the deciding factor. I will add images to my descriptions, and I hope that the combination will help you to decide. Regardless, always double check or take time to contact me for further information, or merely just to clarify a point. Ask for more images. If I can reduce anything I will do so. If you purchase more than one item, then offering a decent discount is likely. If items are not as described or you have a valid problem with any item, then I am happy to make a full or partial refund. This will be in line with all Statutory guidelines e.g returning the book in the condition it was delivered, and do let me know as quickly as possible. If damage has occurred then try to provide images. Ring me on 01352-810931…
