A propos de cet article

Harper Brothers Publishers, New York, 1923. First edition (with copyright page code B-X). Book condition: very good. Only very minor shelf wear. Very slight bumping to corners and to head & tail of spine. Very sound binding and very clean internally. Some marking to a small number of pages (pp 30, 47 58, 109 & 295) - a couple of these look like grubby little finger marks. It looks as if the heads of pp 336 & 337 had adhered together slightly at some time as there is some slight surface abrasion as if the pages have had to be separated, but this is minor in nature. Very faint tendency to tanning to a narrow border around some oage edges. Endpapers slightly tanned. Dust jacket condition: good. Unclipped jacket with some wear around the edges. Small amount of loss to tail of spine together with a closed tear that extends upwards by approx 5cms and then horizontally to about three quarters of the spine width. Some rubbing and chipping - mainly to lower edges and especially the back. Jacket in a protective wrapper. The book also comes with a slipcase which is in fair condition. It is sound but is a little grubby and chipped here and there. This is a companion to the Howard Pyle's famous Book of Pirates. There are over two hundred pictures, of which twenty are in full colour. These represent some key events in American history. The narrative and the descriptive captions are embellished by decorative cuts. The book is a fine example of Howard Pyle's work. A heavy book but no additional shipping costs to UK post codes.
