About this Item

xiii, 228 pages : color maps ; 43 cm. ; black cloth-backed brick cloth with gilt lettering ; dj. INSCRIBED by Frantz at TSHA annual meeting 1990; inscribed by Cox at Austin Book and Paper Show 28 Sept 1991; both inscriptions to lifetime TSHA member Margaret Waring of Comanche, Texas. Reproductions and descriptions of early maps that lured explorers and colonists to Texas. Most are well sequestered in archives and unavailable to all but the most dedicated researchers. Historians Frantz and Cox have done an invaluable job in bringing these materials back into the public eye. (And finding a copy which is inscribed by BOTH authors, one of whom is long dead and the other now of advanced age, is akin to finding hens' teeth.).

Store Description

The books of an old bookie -- i.e., a book enthusiast and collector for many years. They have become TOO MANY, and it's time to go about selling them. My areas of specialisation are Texana and folklore, with smaller collections of history and children's fiction and non-fiction between 1930 and 1970.

Sale & Shipping Terms

Terms of Sale

This is no Half Price Books nor Strand Bookstore, rather one person selling books as a side hustle and a passion. When you deal with me, you deal with me, not an anonymous clerk. I presume sales to be final except in case of substantial condition discrepancy or lost and strayed shipments, and frown upon buyer's remorse.

Right of cancellation

Shipping Terms

Books will be wrapped securely in unused newspaper stock and shipped in bubble-padded mailing envelopes. Additional bubble-wrap may be included for large, heavy, or specially fragile items. After multiple instances of the US Post Awful losing books for me (it averaged about one per month) I have changed to UPS for US domestic shipments. Unfortunately, this also means I CANNOT ship to Post Office box addresses any longer (the delivery trucks won't fit into the little boxes) and I have to charge more S&H than I used.

I send international shipments via the broker Global Post, at International First Class rates. This will of necessity delay delivery at times.
