[1989] FULL GENUINE LEATHER FINE BINDING by Easton Press -- NOT THE REGULAR TRADE CLOTH BINDING OR THE CHEAPER COMPOSITE LEATHER. SOME COMPETITORS ONLINE SAY THEIR BOOKS ARE NEW OR FINE BUT HAVE BEEN READ. THIS BOOK IS DIRECT FROM THE PUBLISHER AND IS TRULY FINE [NEVER READ] IN GIFT-GIVING CONDITION. Brown genuine leather binding features beautiful gilt designs/gilt lettering, 430 pages including Index and bibliography. Six raised ridges on spine; lettering, designs stamped with gorgeous accents of 22kt. gold -- a hallmark of fine bookmaking. This beautifully bound book was hand-selected from individually tanned hides. Textured and shaded, acid-neutral paper won't turn yellow over time. Pages are Smyth-sewn into binding for permanence (not glued like ordinary books). Edges gilded on three sides to enhance elegance of the book. Repeating eagle design on endpapers. Satin ribbon page marker bound in. Condition: Fine, never read. Free of smelly old humidity stains and the smoke smell of a cigarette or cigar smoker. Stored in temperature-controlled bookcase. This book presents President George Washington's treasury of his public and private writings, revealing him as a passionate, sensitive, generous, and deeply emotional man --- far from the stony, stoic hero portrayed in American history books. A wonderful, informative, and insightful book. Note: We are a well-established, well-respected, ethical book dealer in business since 1991. We describe the condition of our books thoroughly and honestly, so you'll know exactly what you will receive when you order. We ship promptly.…

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…
