Sobre este item
New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1928. 1st Edition . Hardcover. VG+. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcovers, two volume set with volume 1 still having its original dust jacket. Also present is the presentation card which reads "Complements of The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, Daniel Willard, President". The dust jacket on volume 1 is toned and spotted along with edge and corner bumps/wear/small tears. The underside of the DJ was neatly reinforced with masking tape along the top and bottom edges, over the decades the tape has become dry and brittle. Neither volume shows any bookplates, handwriting, signatures, no library markings. Both volumes do have foxing present, particularly around the pages surrounding the illustrations, which includes the title pages. Binding is good with no issues and text pages are tight. Volume 1, which is in slightly better condition, contains 372 pages. Volume 2, which shows some spotting on the boards (particularly the right side of the front board edge) contains 365 pages (737 pages total). The exterior cloth on volume 2 also shows some light toning and fading as it was not protected by a jacket. Please note: this is a two-volume set that weighs over 4 pounds, non-US sales will require additional postage.

Termos da venda
Yesterday's Book Shop (Member IOBA)
Purchases will ship by US Media Mail or Priority Mail (if buyer selects) and higher priced items may have insured placed on the order and will typically ship within one business day. Additional postage may be required for multiple volume books or books weighing over 5 lbs., but only in unusual cases. Insurance is available upon request though we normally place insurance on any item of $75 or higher at no additional cost to the buyer. Non-US sales will ship by First Class International or Global Priority. Additional postage may be required for multiple volume books or books weighing over 4 lbs.
We always take extra care in packaging and shipping. Books are typically wrapped in packing paper or bubblewrap before packaged in a sturdt shipping box. All orders, even those shipped by US Media Mail, will be given a USPS tracking number which will be sent to the buyer so they will know when to expect arrival. Please let us know if there is a book with incorrect or missing photos. We recently moved the inventory to Biblio and a title or two may have had issues with the photos being transferred over.
Yesterday's Book shop is owned and operated by a disabled veteran. Due to my limitations, I often have to rely on speech-to-text software to list the books. If the description has typos ("and pages" instead of "end pages", pace downs instead of pastedowns, guilt instead of gilt, etc,) PLEASE let me know so I can correct the listing. The software spells words by phonetics and can make errors that I may not catch.
There is a 30 day money back guarantee if the book arrives damaged or is not as described. Please contact us prior if you have any issues with your purchases and we will make sure you are taken care of.

Sobre Yesterday's Book Shop (Member IOBA)
Yesterday's Book Shop is an independent, family-owned establishment. The store first opened in 1966 under the name Collector's Corner and was located in Western Maryland. The Collector's Corner dealt mainly in books but also sold stamps and assorted ephemera. In 1975 the name was changed to Yesterday's Book Shop when the store only offered books and printed matter. In the early 2000s the brick and mortar store was closed and now we only sell online.
