About This Item
Burlington, NJ: Isaac Collins, 1774. Book. Fair-Good. Full-Leather. First Thus. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. Evans 13607, an imprint reprinting the Third Edition. Full calf, gilt on black title label mounted on spine, five raised bands. xii,812,[16] pp., indexed at rear. Leather remains supple and has been cared for as part of a private collection, but it shows some surface abrasions, and the boards show at least partial exposure along all edges, with some loss and layering of underboards at corners, loss along joints and at both spine extremities. Flyleaves not original to issue have been inserted with cloth mending tape. This copy lacks title page [i/ii] but is otherwise complete and has been identified by its pagination and size as the 1774 Burlington imprint. Binding is firm and text block generally tidy, showing only light scattered foxing, with strong printing throughout. Easily improved cosmetically by rebacking and new corners..

About Saucony Book Shop
The Saucony Book Shop, located in the heart of scenic rural Berks County, epicenter of Pennsylvania German folk culture (our shop specialty), offers a full range of gently used, rare, and antiquarian books, with many volumes of scholarly merit and an unabashed emphasis on the quaint, the curious, and the utterly obscure. We make no attempt to be a general-service book shop. Our inventory is highly selective, individually chosen from among the hundreds of thousands of books to which we have access annually at auctions, library and estate sales, and through individual scouts and vendors. We do not handle material that does not meet our expectations in terms of condition or interest to our specialized, idiosyncratic customers. Despite maintaining a browsing inventory of more than 15,000 volumes, we have minimized our carbon footprint by maintaining our entire operation in a cozy ca. 1890 barn and lean-to adjacent to an historic creamery in rural Maxatawny Township. Our shop is available for browsing by appointment and occasionally, in temperate weather, by chance, so email or call ahead to peruse the eclectic selection gracing our shelves, or ask our ferociously over-read staff for recommendations. Selling antiquarian books of merit since 1981. Full search and appraisal services; always keenly interested in purchasing quality used books, whether by the piece or by the bushel. Thanks for reading about us! Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
