About This Item
West Publishing Co, 1933. Third. Hardcover. Good. Large book. Third edition. Brownish boards, textured, with gilt titling, still in vivid condition, as well as gilt titling on spine.

Shelf wear to bottom of spine, with rubbing to spine ends. Darkened text block, more so on the upper edges of text block. Pages are age-toned. Binding is nice and strong for a book of this size. Former owner name on FFE. Beginnings of slight cracking in the hinge between front paste down and end pages. Book does tend to "twist," but keep in mind this book is three inches thick. Thumbprint marks on lower text block corner. Paste downs and end pages are toning, with darker toning to the outside edges. This is a heavy book. Five pounds, ten ounces. Additional shipping charges will apply. 1,867 pages, NOT including appendix. Will be happy to send photos upon request.
