About this Item

"First published, March 1899 / Reprinted, October 1911 / May 1920." Thus, the third printing. "Publisher's Note / There has been considerable rearrangement of the plates. Many that originally appeared in the 'Early Work' are now transferred to this volume, and conversely, in order to preserve a proper chronological sequence." This book is firmly bound, with no pages or plates loose, "very good" and unusual thus. The original jacket, seldom found, is "very good" to "very-good-plus" with minor chipping to heel of jacket spine, only. Why is this book of some value? First, it's holding together. The glued binding is usually described as "perished," with most or all plates loose, but all 157 plates here remain bound in place. And, of course, there's the presence of the somewhat uncommon original dust jacket. A NOTE TO OUR OVERSEAS CUSTOMERS: While we welcome offshore orders, heavy books present a special problem. We ship our books in boxes, and all international boxes of more than 4 lbs. must now travel by air, "Priority Mail." This book is thus likely to cost something on the order of $54 to ship overseas. Overseas buyers should not order this book or other heavy books unless they're willing to approve and pay the requisite "Priority" shipping. This copy now reduced from $500.
