About this Item

Binding tight; pages clean; boards show overall wear. A journal of the Rev. Davidson's visit to Europe. At the end, he sounds happy to be home: "Talk about the Rhine, the Danube, the Alps, the sunny, trellised slopes and ruined castles of Italy! Americans run wild over European tours, and talk rapturously of sights abroad, when right here in our own land, within easy reach of the poorest, are sights and scenes that, for grandeur and sublimity, can not be excelled in the whole world." Uncommon. 158 pages. 5 x 6-3/4". Seller Inventory # 3600

Store Description

Hi all! I've been accumulating volumes for well over half my life, mostly autographed and inscribed copies. Wrote a book on book collecting for a Random House imprint in 2004 and another, "Book Collecting Now: The Value of Print in a Digital Age," for Chatwin Books, published in 2019. I intended to keep most of these books forever, but my wife and I decided to move to Manhattan, which meant downsizing from an enormous suburban house, with practically unlimited bookshelf space, to an apartment in Greenwich Village. So hello, AbeBooks!

Terms of Sale:

If I've mischaracterized a book, please let me know, and I'm happy to accept returns for refunds.

Shipping Terms:

Orders usually ship within three business days. I generally pack books in boxes, with padding, and unless they're unusually bulky or heavy -- more than four pounds or so -- I won't ask for additional shipping costs. For domestic media-mail buyers, anyway. Prices for international and even priority shipping can get *insane*.
