About This Item

New York: Allen & Willmarth, 1880. Hardcover. Good+. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcovers, three volume matched set: two volumes being the actual title itself in the third book being the matching salesman sample. These books have been together since they were new. All three volumes are the same design of three-quarter bound leather with gilt designs and text. All books are in their original state and leather is wearing and peeling to the finish. The two volume actual book set has marbled end pages and front and rear, both books are basically in the same condition with exterior edge and corner wear to the boards, binding being good with no cracks, no handwriting or bookplates, no library markings. Two-volume set grades at G++ to VG-. The salesman sample exterior is in slightly better shape but the front marbled end page is detached and torn/frayed. Interior pages of all three books along the edges. Page condition of all three books are also similar with pages being toned and foxing being present. The lithographic plate portraying the Massacre at Fort Mimms found in the salesman sample has a large tear at the top edge measuring about 3.5 inches. The salesman sample also contains one page of orders along with names written in pencil on the opposite page. Because of the detached front end page the salesman sample copy grades at good minus, otherwise book as VG-. This sale is for the complete set of three books: two being the title listed in the third being the matching salesman sample copy. Please note: because this is a three volume set weighing roughly 15 pounds there will be additional shipping required for addresses outside of the US or if buyer chooses priority mail option instead of media mail.

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.
