About This Item
Decorative paper covered boards with leather at the corners and over the spine. Leather worn through at three of the four corners, with less severe wear on the spine. Gilt print and decoration on the spine, with raised bands and tooled decoration as well. Decorative endpapers, too. Front free endpaper is almost torn loose and there is some staining between that and the next page, where the owner's stamp can be found. This staining is not found elsewhere. Binding is solid. The book is illustrated with 150 woodcuts and 4 maps and plans, in color. Pages are tight, clean and unmarked, with decorated page ends all around. First map is the frontispiece, while the other three are fold-outs attached at the end of the book. All appear fully intact, although the lower edge of one is a little tattered along the lower edge. This book is very rare. Not ex-library. Appears to be a first US edition. Will be shipped with insurance and signature required.

Many of my books are oversized. Rather than ask for shipping adjustments at the time of purchase, the list price for heavier books includes the excess shipping cost.
