Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Limited Edition of 850 copies, of which this is number 689. There are 95 pages in the book. The 95th page, the last Index page, is unnumbered. Beginning with the book, it is in very nice condition. You can see the blue covers in the photos. They are very clean. The gilt lettering on the spine is bright. There's a little bit of crinkling and color fade at the spine ends, no tears or loss. The spine is sun toned. The cover edges are in excellent shape, no rubbing. The same can be said for the cover corners. All three page edges are deckled or rough-cut. The spine is straight and the binding is very solid from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The interior of the book is in very good condition. The pages are exceptionally clean. I turned them all over without finding any soiling. None of the pages are uncut. Around 20 or so have a crease coming down a little ways from their top corner, the kind of crease created by something pressing down. There are no turned-down corners, no placeholder creases. There are no tears. There are no markings of any kind. No attachments. There isn't any writing in the book other than a lightly penciled 'rare jacket' on the first of two blank front end papers. Which brings us to the, yes, rare jacket. As you can see, the front and rear are in pretty nice shape, a loss at the top edge of the spine takes with it a little bit of the top edge of the front and rear. The jacket is quite clean. There is toning off the top edges of the front and rear. The spine is also toned. There is a penciled '689' at the front top right corner (which, as mentioned, is the book's given number in the limited edition). The condition rating on the jacket is due to the losses at the spine endings and at the center of the spine (second photo). There is no print on the flaps. They are in good shape, no tears or losses, and clean. The jacket is thus not priced, nor is it clipped. I have always had it in a fitted protective cover. I removed it to better examine the jacket. Despite the losses, the jacket is in very solid shape. I'm going to place a new fitted protective cover on it before scanning the photos. Once listed, this will be by far the least expensive of any of the few copies with a dust jacket. 'Duncan James Corrowr Grant was a Scottish painter and designer of textiles, pottery, theatre sets, and costumes. He was a member of the Bloomsbury Group. His father was Bartle Grant, a 'poverty-stricken' major in the army, and much of his early childhood was spent in India and Burma.'. …

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.…
