8vo. 7 vols., various pages, most over 300. An early set, perhaps sold on subscription and in this case gifted in various years to the owner. All sound bindings, in red cloth with uniform t.e.g. on all 7 Titles: Discovery of America (2 vol.), Beginnings of New England (1 vol.), Dutch and Quaker Colonies in America (2 vol.), and The American Revolution, (2 vols. ) A nice set, no defects or damages, looks to have been a shelf ornament and not a working library set. 7 vols. in all, of perhaps 11 that were issued. Gift note inked in each book offered here. Lacking the "Essays", which were in 2 vols, and perhaps 2 more. All these books are cloth bound. There was also a set issued in leather, it appears. Domestic orders only, and may require added postage. Very good condition in very good dust jackets, all books t.e.g.). Seller Inventory # 2858

Store Description

The "Old Book Surfer" store was started in 2009 near downtown Schenectady N.Y., in the "Bellevue" neighborhood first settled by General Electric and Alco Locomotive workers who built a small canal town into a mighty engine of U.S. industry. In 2014 we relocated to our present larger quarters in Cambridge, NY. Our literary and general interest bookstore also offers Recorded Music on vinyl to a collector clientele. We try to describe every internet item -- book or record -- as clearly as possible, just as if you were viewing it personally in the shop. With 20 years of collecting experience in our fields, we welcome you as either an on-line or in-store visitor! Our current business hours are Wed.-Sun., from 1-6pm, eastern time.
