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.
