Description

London: Michael Joseph, 1986. Near Fine in a Near Fine dustjacket. Blue boards. The spine is gilt-stamped. "Burgundy and The Italian States 1460" endpapers. 470pp. Bumping to the spine-ends, otherwise excellent: clean, tight, square, and bright. The price-clipped dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, has touches of crinkling at the spine-ends; no chips, soiling, or tears. ".Dorothy Dunnett's spectacular new historical sequence, a story as rich and colorful as the age in which it is set. It is 1459, the time of the early Renaissance, of trade and war and banking, of the Wars of the Roses and the Fall of Constantinople. It is a time when the city of Bruges harbours permanent trading colonies: from Scotland and Venice, London and Genoa, the Baltic and Christian Spain. A time when a small community can become an international centre for money and gossip and spies. When a young man with his head on his shoulders and his wits to the fore can slip through the fingers of all who use or abuse him, to win riches through business or fighting, no matter who (within limits) his parents might be." Purchase with confidence: all books, gradings, and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile. Money back guarantee. Thanks for your interest in Nooks Of Books.. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover.

Terms of Sale:


Payment Methods Accepted:
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover Card, and checks or money orders made out to Jeffrey C. Wright. You can also, if you like, make your payment -- credit card or bank transfer -- through Paypal.com (Acct name: nooksofbooks@comcast.net).

Grading:
Dealers who are otherwise members of prestigious bookselling organizations should know that you can\'t grade a book Fine if it\'s remaindered; nor can a dustjacket be graded Fine that is price-clipped. And yet we see this sort of thing -- more and more -- and from all manner of establishments. It reflects poorly on the industry.
Thus, we recommend that any prospective online customer insist on a thorough description (such as are issued through these Nooks) for any collectible item. We\'re well-versed, here, in the grading process and we do so fairly if not conservatively.

Refunds:
We understand all too well the hesitancy of some collectors to make their purchases online, particularly in such cases where books are scarce or costly. We, therefore, stress the integrity in these Nooks. Your satisfaction is guaranteed, or all costs you\'ve incurred will be refunded -- no questions asked -- providing the book is returned to us in the same condition within two weeks.

Shipping:
Though most booksellers are quite professional and know how to properly handle their wares, I\'ve noticed (being a book-buyer, too) that many online shops can be slipshod and amateurish in their shipping practices. This being so, we\'d like to assure you: when you buy from us the item will be nicely and securely presented. It will be gift-wrapped, sealed in a plastic bag to protect it against water damage, encased in bubble wrap and/or foam \'peanuts\' and boxed. We ship books out the way we like to receive them. Except, perhaps, in the rare occasion of an inexpensive reading copy, I\'d not think of consigning a book from these Nooks to the hard knocks of the postal system in a simple bubble-mailer. You won\'t get that shoddy handling here.

Insurance:
It is our policy to pay the insurance for any purchase over $200.00. Should you like to provide your own insurance for less of a sum, the cost is $1.30 for $50.00 of coverage, $2.20 for $100.00, and $3.20 for up to $200.00 of coverage. Insurance, in such cases, is suggested (simply state your preference in the comments segment during checkout) as we cannot be responsible for books that are lost in transit.
