Item description from seller

First Edition (SD, NAP). Once listed, I believe this will be the Only original copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. You can see the covers in the photos. I'm not quite sure how to describe them, they have that flexible quality. The gilt lettering and design on front, rear and spine is in very nice shape. All three page edges are gilt, quite shiny. The thin cover edges are in very good shape. There is a very tiny bit of corner wear, rubbing, at the two front corners. The spine ends have only a slight bit of wear. The spine is pretty straight and the binding is decent. There is a little bit of a space, with paper showing, over the top inch or two of the juncture between the illustrated front inside cover and illustrated front end paper, but the binding of the front cover is very good. The same is the case between the blank rear side of the illustrated front end paper and the facing blank second end paper The illustrated front end paper is pulled away a little bit over its top half, not its bottom half. The blank end paper is not pulled away. Scrolling through the pages I found only two or three instances of a very thin space between two facing pages. There is one between the title page and the page it faces, but only over the top inch or so of the juncture. All the pages appear to be solidly bound (excepting the illustrated front end paper). There are no issues with the rear cover. Both inside covers and end papers each form their own illustration, very nice. The pages are very clean. I saw one instance of a very small spot off the outer edge of two facing pages, not reaching the print. Two other facing pages have a few tiny spots. The pages are in very good condition. I didn't see any conspicuous creasing, no turned-down corners or placeholder creases. I saw three consecutive pages with a tiny tear at their middle edge, none coming anywhere near the print. I saw one other instance of a very tiny tear off a bottom edge of a page, also far from the print. Were talking about maybe 1/8th". There are no markings in the book. No attachments of any kind. There are two old signatures on the second front end paper, the blank one. There is no other writing to be found anywhere in the book. The letter is of more than 70 personages, including John Donne, Samuel Johnson, Alexander Pope, James Boswell, George Washington, William Cowper, Robert Burns, William Wordsworth, Jane Austen, John Adams, Charles Lamb, John Keats, Charles Darwin, Charles Dickens, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Elizabeth Barrett, George Eliot, Charles Kingsley, Thomas Huxley, Emily Dickinson, Charlotte Brontë, Matthew Arnold, Abraham Lincoln, Louisa Alcott, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Lewis Carroll.

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.
