Cloth over spine is split and frayed, lifting about one inch from head of spine; fraying at foot of spine as well. Boards slightly exposed at corners. Some dark staining along bottom edge of front cover. Stamping on front cover remains bright and lovely. Previous owner's inscription on front free endpaper. Binding is a bit fragile; front gutter is cracked through, but otherwise remains secure. Color frontispiece of the marriage of Arthur and Guinevere. Contains 15 other color plates, with other illustrations throughout. A fair copy overall, well illustrated.

Store Description

We're at 805 Caroline Street, in the heart of Fredericksburg's historic district. Open Monday to Saturday 10-6; and Sunday 12-5. In warmer months we stay open until 9 most nights, but you might want to call ahead. (540) 373-6148 Shipping rates are for Media Mail, in a padded envelope - WE DO NOT ADD TRACKING UNLESS THE CUSTOMER REQUESTS IT AND PAYS FOR IT - we have been selling books online for more than 20 years & find that the USPO delivers 99.99% of packages quickly and safely, without any need for a tracking number. We trust them & we hope you will too. If you need tracking, please consider PRIORITY SHIPPING. We ship orders valued at more than $50 in a box, at no additional charge. Priority mailing is for a Flat-Rate envelope, with tracking included. If the book does not fit into a flat rate envelope, we will likely need to request extra shipping costs from you, in order to put it in a box. We only charge the actual amount of shipping, so we hope you'll understand that it's just a matter of getting the book to you without taking a loss on it -- shipping is a service we happily offer without a 'handling' charge.... but we can't afford to charge you less than the cost of the stamps!
