About This Item

Washington: John C. Rives, 1856. First Edition. Hardcover. Fair. Folio - over 12 - 15" tall. A perfectly serviceable reference copy; nothing fancy, but complete. Faint white lettering of call number at spine and punched stamp are only signs of ex-library status (Hill Reference Library, Saint Paul). Marbled paper over boards, brown leather-backed, and with gilt lettering to spine, original boards present, attached, but joints cracked, held still by string, and leather scuffed at ends. Scuffing to extremities, some waffling to text-block but with no signs of mildew or odor. Some soiling to and foxing of especially endpapers, else remarkably clean and unmarked. lxxvi + 800 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.
