Softcover, late 19th century pulp publication originally published under the title of "A Marvelous Coincidence". Spine states this was part of the Neely's Popular Library number 83 which was released February 15, 1897. Exterior cover is heavily spotted and soiled spine shows cracks but for the most part is all present. Internal binding looks a little sloppy at the front and rear wraps due to the publishers glue not being applied very well. Pages are very darkened due to the poor quality of paper used and some pages have minor chips. Soiling is also present. A very uncommon publication, the publisher F. Tennyson Neely released a number of titles between 1893- 1899, few have survived as these books were never designed to last and were basically printed on newsprint grade paper. Paper is brittle book is soiled but the book is still intact and in one piece. No signatures or bookplates, no handwriting, no underlining, no library markings. This fragile book is been placed in a protective acid-free archival storage bag.

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.
