A propos de cet article

First Edition (SD). With 159 Illustrations. This is a very rare copy of the second volume. The book was published in two volumes. Actually, I don't believe there's even one other copy of this volume for sale on the Internet. So, it's nice that this book is in really good condition. You can see the covers in the photos. They're quite clean. The gilt lettering on the spine is very bright. The edges are in solid condition. The bottom ones have some spots of color fade but are entirely smooth. There is only a little bit of rubbing at the four corners, one has a tiny spot of rub-through. The top edge of the spine has a little bit of wear, one spot of rub-through, a couple of small tears. The bottom edge of the spine has a little color fade and bending, also a speck of rub-through. The top page edge is gilt. Looks very good. The middle and bottom page edges are deckled or rough-cut. The book is very solidly bound from cover to cover. The covers R nicely tight. The pages are nicely tight as well. That's especially important, as the book is larger and heavier than average. The heaviness is in part due to the thickness of the glossy pages. These pages are in terrific shape. Not only are they very clean, they are fairly bright. There isn't any foxing. I haven't seen any soiling. I could certainly be missing something. There are a lot of pages, but very clearly they are very, very clean. They are also in very good shape. I'm not finding any turned-down corners or placeholder creases. I'm not finding any kind of conspicuous wear. There are no markings. No attachments, bookplates, etc. It is NOT ex-library. As referenced above, there are 159 illustrations. I assume that includes the frontispiece which is protected by a tissue guard. All of the illustrations appear to be in very nice condition. You would expect these glossy or semi-glossy pages to at least have some toning at their margins, maybe there's a little, but if so it certainly doesn't stand out. At the end of the seventh Appendix there are three Plates (A, B, and C) and each of them has a tissue guard with print describing in some detail each plate. Attached to the first rear end paper is a foldout map of Palestine. It is in excellent condition.…

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.…
