About This Item
Burrows Brothers Company, 1898. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Poor/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover, inscribed and signed by the author on the front pastedown to a friend. Original binding of first state blue-green cloth boards, later states were produced in red cloth. Exterior shows scuffing and spotting along with edge and corner bumps/chips/wear. The front board has a crease in the cloth near the bottom center. The front end page has picture of author pasted in with inscription on opposite page: " To a friend and lover of good literature. A Happy New Year and many of them. Most sincerely yours, George A. Sanders Springfield Ills Jan 01, 1899". There is also a signature, presumably of his friend, written in pencil in the gutter of the dedication page. Pages are darkened and brittle due to quality of paper used, pages 131-134 have a large horizontal tear in the center. The text portion of the interior binding is good but both the front and rear hinges at boards show some ugly cracks and it appears the rear end page is missing. Extremely rare to find a signed copy, even in this condition.

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.
