About This Item
Washington: Gales and Seaton, 1834. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. 4to 11" - 13" tall. Sturdy, attractive, tightly bound, internally clean hardcover copy, with unbruised tips, neat and tidy paste-downs; not ex-library, with neither highlighting nor underlining. Rebound in black buckram cloth with gilt lettering to spine (oddly states "Vol. I"), new endpapers. Outer leaves tanned, dampstaining to top corner throughout, scattered foxing, but neither affecting text. Ink-stamp from previous owner (a historical society) on title page. Overall, a remarkably good-looking and sturdy volume, made the moreso by the fact of rebinding. Lightly waffled text-block, but clean and easy to read. vi + 774 + xvi pages, including index.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.
