About This Item
First edition. Book shows very little wear. Gray paper covered boards with red fabric at the spine, with gilt print. The dust jacket shows a little wear, mostly along the upper and lower edges of the back cover. The dust jacket is plastic over paper, and in a few places the plastic has started to peel, allowing atmospheric moisture to discolor the dyes used on the underlying paper. The deckle-edged pages are clean, tight and unmarked, and loaded with black-and-white illustrations. The author of the Amelia Peabody mysteries, Elizabeth Peters (Barbara Mertz) held a PhD in Egyptology, so was well versed in the history of exploration in the time that those mysteries were set. A rare book. This book will ship at about three pounds. Excess shipping costs are included in the list price.
