About This Item
Boston, MA: Little, Brown, and Company, 1881. 5th Edition . Hardcover. Poor. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcovers, two-volume set with original full leather binding. Exterior of both volumes are in rough shape with black tape across spines in leather heavily worn. Boards of volume 1 are held on by just binder string and whatever strength is left in the old tape. On volume 2 both boards are detached. Despite the rough exterior's the interior textblocks are secure and text pages are tight. Paper is toned due to age and scattered spotting and foxing is present, with the worst being the end pages. Volume 2 has a bump the lower outside corner which dents about 80 pages - this is just in the extreme corner and is far outside of the text areas. Only handwriting found in the books is on the front end page of both volumes which contains a stamp in the corner from the Law bookstore along with the original owners name: Francis A. Wolf. These pages also have faint residue from where a bookstore price was once penciled. Francis Wolf was a Pittsburgh attorney mentioned in several notable cases in the early 20th century. Volume one contains 881 pages and volume two contains 896 pages (1777 pp. total). Please note: because this is a two-volume set and are heavy books there will be additional postage required for priority mail and nine US locations.

Additional postage may be required for multiple volume books or books weighing over 5 lbs., but only in unusual cases.

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.

The path of the total eclipse of August 2017 had our offices at 99% totality - we closed the office to go watch the spectacle, but first we put together this gallery inspired by eclipses to celebrate.
