Beschreibung
Tall thin quarto (9 5/8 x 6 3/4"), original publisher's green ribbed cloth with circular pastedown with detail from color plate depicting Tiny Tim on Bob Cratchit's shoulders + gilt border & titling on front cover, with 10 full-page color drawings by Jessie Willcox Smith facing descriptions, 46 thick glossy pages. Jessie Willcox Smith (1863 - 1935) was an American illustrator during the Golden Age of American illustration. She was considered "one of the greatest pure illustrators." Among the more than 60 books she illustrated were many prominent authors such as Louisa May Alcott, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Robert Louis Stevenson, and--as here-- Charles Dickens. Very Good copy overall: Tight, bright, clean internally. Moderate wear to cloth apparent along its front gutter, corners, and frayed base of the spine. There is a barely visible 3/8" circular scrape on the title page that's above the word "Ten." No previous owner markings. No foxing to the bright, gorgeous, and evocative plates.

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.
