About This Item

Boston: Cooke And Co., 1846. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fair-/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover, original binding of marbled paper covered boards half bound with leather to corners and spine. The leather is dry and brittle with cracking and chipping present. The exterior hinge at the rear board is cracked and the front board is precariously hanging on by two sections of binder string and will likely break free if not addressed. The interior binding is in much better condition and pages are tight. No signatures or bookplates present, no library markings, no handwriting found. There is an ink spot on the second title page and there is foxing and spotting present throughout, with some pages being quite toned. This volume contains two titles, each with their own title page. The first one of Martin Van Buren contains 308 pages, the Benjamin Franklin Butler section contains an additional 152 pages along with a copyright date of 1845 (460 pages total). They also have the authors name misspelled on the second title page. The Martin Van Buren title page also is missing the lower outside corner. Good candidate for rebinding.

Terms of Sale

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.

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.

All of the book pictures were taken at the time the book was listed and we never use generic or stock photos in any listing. If you would like additional photos or information on any listing please let us know and we will be more than happy to comply.
