Description

Philadelphia, PA: Porter & Coates, 1972. Hardcover. Good. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. See photos for condition details. Large hardcover, weighing almost 5 pounds. Bound in stamped full leather with gilt text on front, back, and spine, all three exterior page edges also gilt. The book is in its original state with the leather untreated. There is scuffing and wear to the leather, and the front exterior hinge is starting to crack. The interior binding has some minor issues. There is a 1 inch opening at the bottom of the rear board and the front hinge is showing signs of thin cracks starting. Binding of the text pages appear is good though the last text page is separated at the bottom hinge about 3 inches. Pages are toned due to age and there is some light foxing, particularly around the illustrations. The first few pages of the book shows a dampstain along the edges. This issue disappears but the time it gets to the title page. Dark brown end pages in front and rear are free of any bookplates or library markings. There is some gray spotting along the edges of both end pages and pastedowns. The only handwriting found in the book is on the back of the first end page where "200" is written in blue pencil with a line above it. Please note: this is a large and heavy book. Non-US sales would have to be shipped direct and priority mail shipping option may require additional postage for US addresses.

Yesterday's Book Shop is an independent, family-owned establishment. The store first opened in 1966 under the name Collector's Corner and was located in Western Maryland. The Collector's Corner dealt mainly in books but also sold stamps and assorted ephemera. In 1975 the name was changed to Yesterday's Book Shop when the store only offered books and printed matter. In the early 2000s the brick and mortar store was closed and now we only sell online. All of the book pictures were taken at the time the book was listed and we never use generic or stock photos in any listing. If you would like additional photos or information on any listing please let us know and we will be more than happy to comply.

Terms of Sale:

Purchases will ship by US Media Mail or Priority Mail (if buyer selects) and higher priced items may have insured placed on the order and will typically ship within one business day. Additional postage may be required for multiple volume books or books weighing over 5 lbs., but only in unusual cases. Insurance is available upon request though we normally place insurance on any item of $75 or higher at no additional cost to the buyer. Non-US sales will ship by First Class International or Global Priority. Additional postage may be required for multiple volume books or books weighing over 4 lbs.

We always take extra care in packaging and shipping. Books are typically wrapped in packing paper or bubblewrap before packaged in a sturdt shipping box. All orders, even those shipped by US Media Mail, will be given a USPS tracking number which will be sent to the buyer so they will know when to expect arrival. Please let us know if there is a book with incorrect or missing photos. We recently moved the inventory to Biblio and a title or two may have had issues with the photos being transferred over.

Yesterday's Book shop is owned and operated by a disabled veteran. Due to my limitations, I often have to rely on speech-to-text software to list the books. If the description has typos ("and pages" instead of "end pages", pace downs instead of pastedowns, guilt instead of gilt, etc,) PLEASE let me know so I can correct the listing. The software spells words by phonetics and can make errors that I may not catch.

There is a 30 day money back guarantee if the book arrives damaged or is not as described. Please contact us prior if you have any issues with your purchases and we will make sure you are taken care of.
