About This Item
Boston, MA: James Munroe and Company, 1847. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fair. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover, blindstamped brown cloth boards with gilt text on spine. Exterior shows some spotting and soiling, edges and corners show bumps/wear. Corners are somewhat rounded and spine edges are chipped. The only reason for the low condition grade of fair is because it appears the first front end page is missing. The only reason this is suspected is because the front pastedown is pale yellow and the opposite page is not. The remaining binding is good though pages 65-67 has a little bit of play and you can see it sticking out of the exterior page edge by a fraction. The first two blank front end pages very faint evidence of something written in pencil and then erased, to we can just see faint markings and indentations. The first 70 pages is in Greek in the remaining 129 pages is in English and covers notes and metres. Pages are toned but clean with only minor spotting and foxing.

Terms of Sale

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.
