A propos de cet article

London: Phoenix House Ltd., 1956. The DEDICATION COPY of this historical tale of the 14th century. Near Fine condition. Clean, square, and tight. Inner hinges are perfect. The binding is the original blue boards, stamped in shiny silver on the spine.

She has handsomely illustrated this book with endpaper maps, and decorated head and tail pieces at the start and end of each chapter.

Description de la boutique

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
