About This Item
New York and London: S. S. McClure Co., 1898. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fair-. 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 extremely worn in the spine is very brittle with a million cracks to the leather to the point where pieces will flake off if fiddled with. Exterior hinges are also cracked and broken so boards are precariously held on by only a few pieces of the binding string. The interior is in much better shape will exterior hinges are cracked at the boards. All of the binding of the text pages is good and tight with no issues. This particular edition did not have a title page, as some bound issues do. Instead, it starts with November 1897 and goes through April 1898. Some of the original articles include Rudyard Kipling's "The Tomb of His Ancestors" (December 1897) and Charles A Dana's "Reminisces of Men and Events of the Civil War" (January 1898). Although the exterior is in very poor condition the interior grades as VG. There isn't upper outside corner bump on about half the pages but there are no signatures or handwriting, no library markings, no bookplates. Is a good copy for reference purposes or for rebinding.

Terms of Sale

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.
