About this Item

All First Printings. All ten volumes of this complete set are in near fine to fine condition in light brown cloth covered boards with gilt text on the spines. Each is a small quarto measuring 9 1/2 by 6 inches with the top edges of the text blocks trimmed and stained brown the fore edges of the text blocks are untrimmed. Only a few of the volumes suffer no more than light rubbing of the cloth at the heads and heels of the spines. Each volume contains approximately 400 pages and is illustrated with maps, and reproductions of contemporary works of art. Each volume has a stamped, prior owner's name and address on the first free end page. With the exception of volume x, that prior owner has also noted in the inside margin of each title page the place, date and price he paid for each volume. None of the volumes have their original, plain brown dust jackets. The first nine volumes, published between 1965 and 1972, contain the biographies of some 300 active, male participants in the fur trade. Volume X is the bibliography and index for the entire set. Considered the best biographical resource for the men involved in the American fur trade. (Clark & Brunet, 123) All first editions, All First Printings. Seller Inventory # TB33314
