Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Fine unread condition color illustrated boards contained in a very good condition price-clipped dust jacket. Illustrated with two-color drawings by Henry R. Martin. The dust jacket has some repaired closed inner tears. All pages are in fine unmarked condition and the spine/binding is in exceedingly tight and square unread condition (see photographs). "The sayings in this book are taken from the various works of Mark Twain and are reprinted by permission of Harper & Brothers." - from the preliminary page. "There are two times in a man's life when he should not speculate: when he can't afford it, and when he can." "In the first place God made idiots. That was for practice. Then He made School Boards." "Human pride is not worth while; there is always something lying in wait to take the wind out of it." "Every one is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody." "It is easy to find fault, if one has that disposition. There was once a man who, not being able to find any other fault with his coal, complained that there were too many prehistoric toads in it." "Wrinkles should merely indicate where the smiles have been." "Few of us can stand prosperity. Another man's, I mean." "Always do right. This will gratify some people, and astonish the rest.".…

Shopbeschreibung

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
