About This Item
Paris: Audot et Cie., 1809. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fair. 16mo - over 5¾ - 6¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover, marbled paper covered boards with leather to spine. The board show edge and corner wear but the spine is nearly completely gone. The book is still in one piece but when you open the boards you can see gaps, with the front board be in the largest. This appears to be the first edition with the date of 1809 appearing on both the title page in the preface letter. The only locations known to have a copy of the 1809 edition are the KU Leuven Libraries in Belgium, where a search of the Religious Studies Discovery Environment (ReIReSearch) shows them having both volume 1 and volume 2. This is only "Tome Premier" or, volume 1st. This copy came from a church library with a large oval stamp on the title page reading Redemptorist Library, St. Alphonsus Church of New Orleans. There is also some handwriting on the title page with the line at the top possibly be in the original owner. No other handwriting found in the book. Pages are toned due to age and there is foxing present throughout. The pages have a parchment feel to them to where the paper is rough. There is nothing torn or loose in the reason for the low condition grade of fair is only because of the missing spine.

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.
