Item description from seller

Stated 'First edition February 1952'. You can see the covers in the photos. They're very clean with just a few light white spots. The black lettering on the spine is bright. There is some crinkling at both spine ends. There's also a bump/crease at the rear bottom edge just adjacent to the spine. The cover edges are in very good shape, no rubbing, one teeny tiny dent at the front middle one. There's also a tiny nick on the front cover to the right of the composer's name. The page edges are mostly clean. There's a tiny scratch on the middle one. It caused a speck-sized loss of paper at the edge of two consecutive pages, obviously very far from the print. The book is square and the spine is straight. The binding is very solid from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The interior of the book is in quite nice condition. Scrolling through the pages, I'm not finding any instances of soiling. The pages are lightly toned, but uniformly. There are eight pages of illustrations on semi-glossy paper. They are also very clean. In a few instances, the facing text page has a few light amber spots in reaction to the glossy material. I didn't see any conspicuous creasing on any the pages, no turned-down corner creases, no placeholder creases. There are no markings in the book. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. I've rated it only Fair due to the smallish losses off the top edge of the front and spine. There's also a sliver of loss off the bottom edge of the spine. And there is a thin tear at the juncture between the front cover and spine, just off the bottom edge. The jacket is pretty clean, just a few light spots. The flaps are clean. The previous owner made tucking-in clips at each of the four corners. The price at the front flap's top corner is present and unaffected. At the bottom of the front flap is stated 'Printed in Great Britain'. I have the jacket in a fitted protective cover. From the dust jacket: 'The aim of this book is to present Beethoven as he really was. He is allowed to speak for himself, and the reader is thereby spared what Michael Hamburger in his Introduction terms 'the theories, conjectures and polemics of biographers'. By judicious selection authentic of contemporary documents the editor has succeeded in building up a vivid and many-cited picture of this remarkable musical genius. While the emphasis is on the man, rather the composer, the selection contains many of Beethoven's comments on his own works and on the musical life of his time. It also contains all the more intimate professions of faith which Beethoven confided to his private note-books, together with the letter to his brothers known as the 'Heiligenstadt Will'. '.

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.
