The Great Centennial Exhibition by Phillip T. Sandhurst and others - 1876

This is the MASSIVE (over 600 pages) hardcover only stated Ziegler Edition from 1876 (gasp!). Other than a name and a couple of other discreet markings on the flyleaf and title page and wear to the gilt-embossed cover, the basic problem is that although the cover to spine has already been taped, much more work on the binding is necessary, as many pages are no longer intact. Otherwise, it is assumed that all pages are included. The book is a fascinating and unique document of EVERYTHING to be found at the Exhibition (see photo). **Note: All books listed as FIRST EDITIONS are stated by the publisher in words or number lines--or--only stated editions that include only the publisher and publication date. Check my feedback to see that I sell exactly as I describe. So bid now for this magnificent, impossible-to-find AMERICANA COLLECTIBLE.Acceptable
