About This Item
Washington DC: Government Printing Office, 1879. Hardcover. Good-. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. See photos for condition details. The hardcover, brown cloth boards, stamped on spine. Exterior shows fading along with edge and corner wear. Interior pages are toned due to age and some foxing and spotting is present. Contains black and white and color illustrations as well as a large foldout (decrease was slightly off on the foldout which cause the very last portion of the foldout to fray a bit at the bottom - the crease has been reset so there wont be any more damage). The interior rear hinge is cracked but and front hinge is starting. Also, the front free end page is barely attached by just a small portion of the bottom. There are no signatures or bookplates present, no library markings. The rear end pages have a small dampstain along the fore edge. Also included with the book were found three papers: the first is the original sheet from The Department Of Agriculture, dated September 25, 1879, which was set by the commissioner when the book was first distributed. There's also a small page entitled " Report of Joint Committee On Printing", also dated 1879. These will be included with the book.

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.
