About This Item
A somewhat irreverent history of the Hudson's Bay Company, commissioned upon their 300th anniversary and originally distributed on that anniversary to all of the modern-day employees of said company. This somewhat comic history is accompanied by Ronald Searle's extravagant and often satirical art work. The clipped dust jacket shows wear at the edges, including a small collection of tears, none over 1.5 cm. The plain paper jacket, decorated with more of Searle's art, is also a bit tanned, especially over the spine. The pages are clean, tight and unmarked, liberally illustrated with black and white drawings. The only color drawings are on the front of the dust jacket and on the title page. The book shows mild wear along the lower edge.

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.
