About This Item
London: Bell and Daldy, 1865. Hardcover. Poor. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Full title reads: 'Chronicles of the Crusades, being Contemporary Narratives of the Crusade of Richard Coeur de Lion by Richard of Devizes and Geoffrey de Vinsauf; and of the Crusade of Saint Louis". Hardcover, full leather binding ornately decorated with gilt to edges and spine. Unfortunately, both front and rear boards are detached though present. Exterior spine shows chipping at top and bottom as well as a spot near the center. Front and rear end page and pastedowns are marbled. Rear pastedown contains a smaller bookplate bearing a crest and stating this was from Cardiff Castle and front pastedown has a large attractive bookplate showing the owner as Johannes Patricius Crichton Stuart Marchio de Bute. The book condition is graded as poor because both boards are detached and if not for this book would be a strong VG to VG plus. No handwriting is present, interior binding is strong and text pages are tight. Pages are toned due to age and some minor foxing is present. The bookplates are what make this a unique item.

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.
