About This Item
Philadelphia, PA: The Library Publishing Company, 1903. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Good-. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcovers, two volume set covering the entire year of 1903. Both books have grayish brown boards quarter pound in red cloth to spine. The condition of the books would normally grade VG or better but there are some dampstains present with the worst being the exteriors of both volumes (volume 2 was the worst). The interior binding of both books is similar: neither volume has hinge issues in text pages are secure. Both volumes are free of any handwriting of bookplates, no library markings, no signatures. Volume 1 does show very light dampstain marks along the bottom edge, outside corner area, which does not affect the pages in any way as far as readability. Volume 2 has less interior pages affected, despite more stains being on the outside spine.. The book is very usable, very readable, and the dampstain issue should be considered somewhat minor for the interior portion and likely happened 50 or more years ago. There was no odor in the books other than the wonderful smell of any old book pulled from any bookstore or library. Please note: this is a large and heavy set of books that weigh almost 8 pounds. Because of this they do not qualify for the Biblio global shipping program so any non-US sales could get expensive to ship. Volume 1 contains 670 pages, volume 2 contains 706 pages (1376 pages total for both volumes).

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.
