Item description from seller

[1883] Two Hardcover Volumes; illustrations, maps, portraits, index. Vol. 1: xiv, 556 pages, [9] leaves of plates. Vol. 2: xiv, 540 pages, [10] leaves of plates. The binding of Vol. II has decorative black stripes. [PUBLISHER'S 1883 BINDING, NOT REBOUND IN LEATHER OR A MOST RECENT BINDING.] Condition: Bindings show age toning and wear, including scuffs from handling and shelving, especially at extremities Internally: Scattered foxing, periodic chips, tears, offsets, several tissues missing (for plates). Former owner's name (R. L. Warttieu June 1884 and Col. H.L. Miller [?] written in preliminaries. Wattieu wrote his name twice, including across the text in Vol. II, Chapter One). All plates present in volumes; except those of Count Pulaski and Anthony Wayne -- missing in Vol. II. In both volumes, a couple of plates, especially fold-outs, chipped and reinforced with cello tap. Periodic pencil notations and highlights with highlight pen. In Vol. I, leaf 135/136 has separated but laid in. The edges of Volume 1 are untrimmed, probably to give the book a distinct, premium look. Overall, the set of two volumes are Fair. The text is clear and readable, and the plates are close to being vivid. A wonderful set on the early history of what is now the State of Georgia. A scarce set, first published in 1883. Very collectible. Note: We are a well-established, well-respected, ethical book dealer in business since 1991.

Store description

We are a well-established, well-respected book dealer who is professional, honest, and ethical in our business dealings. We tend to describe each book in a reserved, conservative manner, rather than oversell a book or sidestep the responsibility of addressing its flaws. Book club editions and library books along with books without dustjackets (if they came with dustjackets) are pointed out in our descriptions. We describe our books in detail, pointing out the precise condition of each book based on our opinion. It's your assurance that the book we describe is as close as possible to the book you will receive. In business since 1991, we typically have the highest ratings on major web sites. It will be a pleasure to serve you. R. Siedlecki R. Siedlecki Vintage Books
