About This Item
New York: James Miller, 1865. Hardcover. Fair. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. H.K. Browne. Hardcover. No copyright date listed (1865). Book has a bit of a lean to the spine and the book appears to have a bit of history to it as well. Several names are written on the front pages - mostly in pencil but some in ink. Apparently Homer Terrell presented this book to his son Oscar Terrell but on the opposite page (in pencil) is written: " Kansas Mud - This book fell from the hands of a careless young man; into a ditch; near Lawrence Kansas; and was this defaced". Reading this I would assume the two brown spots on these pages was from that ditch long ago. Binding is good with no loose pages but the book has a bit of a curve to it and some cloth damage and spine lean, likely from being carried in a back pocket long ago. See images for better details. Note: book was blocked at the time of this listing so the spine lean should not be as bad as it appears in the images but will likely still be present.

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.

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.

About 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.
