About This Item
New York: Harper & Brothers, 1891. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fair-. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. See photos for condition details. Large hardcover, original green cloth boards ornately decorated on front and spine. Exterior shows scuffing and soiling along with edge and corner wear/bumps. The spine area is darkened and there's an opening appearing at the front hinge cloth, about 3" from the bottom and the opening is just over an inch long. The top and bottom of the spine area has minor chipping/tears. The internal binding of the text portion of the pages (from the title page on) is good but both the front and rear hinges at boards are cracked. The front hinge looks like there was an old repair attempt as the gutter area is hard and is closed more than it should be. The rear hinge at the board is starting to open up and separate from the spine. The main reason for the low condition grade is because several of the front end pages as well as the frontispiece is completely detached. All of rest of the text pages are still securely attached with no binding issues. No signatures or bookplates present, no handwriting found, no library markings. Pages are tone due to age and there is some very minor foxing and some smudge marks present. This book includes all of the issues (including the front covers showing the price and illustration) from November 4, 1890 thru October 27, 1891. Please note: this is a large and heavy book which weighs over 5 pounds - non-US locations or priority mail shipping option will likely require additional postage. Media mail shipping costs will not be affected.

Terms of Sale
Yesterday's Book Shop (Member IOBA)
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.

About Yesterday's Book Shop (Member IOBA)
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.
