About This Item
Boston / Chicago: W. A. Wilde Company, 1899. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fair. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Charles Copeland. See photos for condition details. Hardcover, maroon cloth boards with gilt text on front and spine. The exterior shows some scuffing to the cloth in the rear board has a large dampstain which can also be seen on the spine. The internal binding is good, no hinge issues. The front end page contains the original owner's info and there is also a light rectangular tan mark, presumably from where a piece of paper once was stored. The illustration at page 39 has an orange stain along the bottom and some fray spots along the top edge and spine area, possibly from being reglued (as the illustration page is slightly offset at the bottom) . The only other issue found on the inside of the book pertains to the publishers advertisement pages in the rear where there is a small thin stain along the outside long edge, which was caused by the color bleeding through from the rear board. This stain also appears on the rear end page in pastedown to a larger degree (see photo).

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.
