About This Item
New York: Peter Fenelon Collier, 1898. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine. Oblong large folio, 322pp., plus numerous plates. An unusually nice copy; near fine. Somewhat musty, but clean and bright internally. Some scuffing to spine, and the boards mildly dust-soiled, but a crisp, sound copy of this extremely large and heavy volume, usually found quite shaken, abused, and falling apart. An epic tome, full to bursting with illustrations from photographs and drawings of figures, locations, and events of the Spanish-American War. Among the color illustrations (some of which are folding) are contributions from Howard Chandler Christy, Henry Reuterdahl, and others. Extremely uncommon in this condition.

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
