12mo (7" x 4 3/4" x 1 1/4") brown cloth with gilt spine & leafy sprigs on spine & front cover, illustrated by xxx with B&W lithographic frontispiece (with tissue guard) and 3 additional full-page plates, 325 pages + [7] Ads for Alcott & related books. Louisa May Alcott (1832 1888) was an American novelist and poet best known as the author of the novel Little Women (1868), and its sequels Little Men (1871) and Jo's Boys (1886). Raised by transcendentalist parents, Abigail May and Amos Bronson Alcott in New England, she also grew up among the well-known intellectuals of the day such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry David Thoreau. She worked to help support the family from an early age and began to receive critical success for her writing in the 1860s. Alcott was an abolitionist and a feminist and remained unmarried throughout her life. FINE and remarkably tight copy with very clean pages (apart from preliminary presentation & ownership entries on the front endpapers) plus immaculate illustrations. No foxing. Likely from a set. Minute wear to corners, else almost as good as new. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 8741

Anbieterinformationen
We are professional booksellers, autograph dealers, and antiquarians (members of the ILAB & ABAA) who began in business in 1969. We pride ourselves on providing books, autographs, art, and artifacts in the Best Available Condition (typically Fine, Very interesting, Scarce, or Unusual items).
Our descriptions strive to be scrupulously accurate. Whenever possible, we detail flaws, include photographs of stock listed (rather than "stock photos"), and provide some background on the authors, creators...
Mehr InformationAll our books and items are carefully packed. They are usually shipped in Manilla padded-envelopes or sturdy boxes with additional bubble wrap, styrofoam "popcorn," or other protective layers. We strive to ship within 24 hours of receiving orders--allowing extra time for weekends or holidays.
Books shipped within the United States are usually shipped via USPS Media Mail. Postal charges for Media Mail typically run from $3.17 to around $5. When site-posted charges--usually $4.95--exceed actual USPS charges, any overage helps to defray our packaging and shipping costs.
Those books requiring extra-swift transport or -care are often shipped via USPS Priority Mail. Postage charges usually average $13.50 for up to precisely 2 pounds, but rapidly escalate thus possibly making it necessary to contact clients.
Autographs & manuscripts, art & artifacts are usually shipped in stout boxes with padding and reinforcement. Because Media Mail rates do not then apply, we normally use USPS Priority mail, but also ship via UPS and FedEx. Extra charges for insurance are often necessary for valuable items.
Overseas' shipments (as to Europe) weighing with packaging Not more than 2 pounds usually incur postage charges of between $13.50 to $25. Those between 2 - 4 pounds average around $35. Packages of more than 4 pounds usually need to be quoted.
