About This Item
Boston, MA: Lincoln, Edmands, & Co., 1835. 15th Edition . Hardcover. Fair. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover, paper covered boards with leather spine, typical for schoolbooks of that era. Covers are heavily worn and stained, leather is dry and chipped with the worst being at the bottom of the spine where there is about an inch missing. Internal binding is intact though dampstains are present on the pages as well the book is still readable. Pages are toned due to age and foxing is present throughout. Pages have corner folds but I did not see any torn. Please note: title page and cover both state this book is accompanied with an atlas. NO SEPARATE ATLAS IS PRESENT. Both front and rear end pages and pastedowns show handwriting and doodles. Title page states the book was printed in 1834 but front cover shows the date of 1835. Please see the five photos as this best shows the condition details.

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.
