About This Item
John Murray, 1845. 15th thousand. Hardback. Cloth, P. 261pp+2pp publishers adverts, title vignette, the book is partly disbound, and at some time has been 'repaired' using cotton thread in an attempt to re-sew the gathers. The book also has a plain brown cloth recovering with a small paper title label to the upper cover. One guesses that the book was much loved & upon falling apart due to too much reading, a child or parent, attempted to rescue the book. The book now more of a charming memento than a readable book. An early edition of a popular child's history by Lady Maria Callcott [ 1785 - 1842 ] author, illustrator & traveller.

Terms of Sale
Eastleach Books
All our books offered are in at least good condition, with the majority very good and better. Descriptions are brief, but PLEASE ask for more detail if required. We can scan books & jackets, signatures etc. MINOR inscriptions ignored in NON FICTION titles, unless really detrimental to the book - but then a 150 year old ink name adds character surely? Modern hardbacks are described as being Cloth bound, even though predominantly they come in paper covered boards pressed to look like cloth. Book grades are given book then dustjacket (if any) Running from F - Fine, VG - Very Good, G - Good, P - Poor. A fine book will look almost like the day it was bought, a VG one will have some evidence of prior ownership, G means a nice clean copy, obviously secondhand & P implies a COMPLETE copy that has suffered a hard life & will need some TLC. We take into account the books age when grading, so a 250 year old book graded as VG will look more second hand that a 5 year old book graded the same. On the Net since 1998. All prices are in GBP. Payment can be made by Visa, Mastercard, Switch & Solo or JCB. After your order is placed, FAX your card details etc to +44 (0)1635 48444. Any Book may be returned - but please let us know prior to sending a book back. We wrap each book individually and don't just stick em in a jiffy bag with a prayer. Paperbacks are packed with card stiffeners. WE BUY BOOKS! Happy reading!
