Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

46 pages full with writings about Friendship by the likes of Tennyson, Henry Ward Beecher, Edwin Markham, Richard Burton, Henry Van Dyke, Henry Drummond, Emerson, Longfellow, Francis Bacon, Austin Dobson, Shakespeare, Jeremy Taylor, George Eliot, Thomas Arnold, Ben Jonson, Shelley, Washington Irving, Talleyrand, Robert Hall, Robert Browning, Byron, William Penn, Walt Whitman, Marcus Aurelius, Robert Louis Stevenson, Benjamin Franklin, Cicero, and others still. This 1910 edition is fairly rare and the few others for sale are not in very good condition. This one is in rather decent condition, particularly taking into account its age. You can see the covers in the photos. They are soft leather, I believe. There are quite clean. They do have brown toning off the edges and on the spine. There's also a small loss at the top edge of the spine, and two small tears at the bottom edge of the spine. The gilt lettering and design on the front is nicely bright. The inside covers and end papers are green. There is a sliver of loss at the front end papers bottom corner. There is a second blank rear end paper right before the green one. At the front it appears that the blank second front end paper was torn out, a little paper remains to the side of the juncture. There's also a space between the blank side of the green front end paper and the facing half-title page. It just comes up from the bottom edge 1 1/2 inches or so. The pages are solidly bound. I have turned over all of the pages in the book and they are all solidly bound, and nicely tight at their junctures. There is a little space off the bottom edge between pages 42-43 and 44-45, but it only comes up 1/4 of an inch. And there is a thin space at the juncture between the last page, 46, and it's facing blank first rear end paper. It comes up about 2 inches from the bottom edge, but both pages are very solidly bound from top to bottom. The covers are also nicely, tightly bound, no issues at the juncture between the inside covers and their end papers. All of the pages are exceptionally clean. I didn't see any soiling at all. I have provided a photograph of the frontispiece and title page. The pages are also in quite good condition. The middle page edge is deckled or rough-cut. They did a good job. There is one instance of a thin tear off the middle edge, not near the print. I saw a few other tiny tears far from the print. And there are a few tiny edge nicks. I didn't see any creasing. There are no markings. There are no attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. 'What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult to each other?'-- George Eliot. 'Let us, then, be what we are, and speak what we think, and in all things Keep ourselves loyal to truth and the sacred professions of friendship.'-- Longfellow 'A brother may not be a friend, but a friend will always be a brother.'-- Benjamin Franklin.…

Shopbeschreibung

Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…
