About this Item

First Edition (SD, Houghton Mifflin: 'from circa1891 to circa 1953 same date (SD) on title page and copyright page with no later printings' indicates a first edition). You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. Not at all bad for a book published in 1929. There isn't any conspicuous soiling. The spine is tanned. There are small losses at and around the top edge of the spine, a tiny one at the bottom edge of the spine and at the bottom edge of the front cover. The flaps are in quite solid shape, no soiling. There is a small, thin closed tear off the top edge of the front flap, also a teeny tiny loss in two spots there. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. I placed it in a fitted protective cover when I purchased the book years ago. You can see the book in the last couple of photos. The label on the spine is in very good shape. There is some tanning over the original green color where the jacket has its losses, allowing the sun to have done its thing. The covers are quite clean with the exception of two speck-sized spots just below the rear top edge. The cover edges and corners are in surprisingly excellent condition, meaning there is no rubbing. The green color of the two top cover edges is dulled. The book is very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well, absolutely no binding issues. The middle page edge is deckled or rough-cut. Actually it's more of a smooth rough-cut with only a few pages showing a slight bit of roughness, a couple of tiny slivers of loss. The pages are exceptionally clean. The book was either read very carefully or not at all. I don't see any soiling anywhere, not even on the white inside covers and end papers. I'm also not finding any creasing. And there are no markings and no attachments. Finally, no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. Seller Inventory # 004968

Store Description

Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.
