About This Item
New York: Charles L. Webster, 1885. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Large octavo, 2 volumes. A very good set in the publisher's 3/4 deluxe morocco binding. Some spotting to the front board of volume I, minor rubbing to the joints on both volumes, and the front outer joint of volume II has a hairline crack, but the board is holding. Corners sharp, with some abrasions. Despite these defects, the spines are entirely unfaded, which is unusual for this binding. WIth all faults, still a gift-quality example of this popular and well-regarded memoir, among the best in both the military and presidential classes. Grant finished the memoirs on his deathbed, and was convinced by his friend Mark Twain to use his publisher, Charles L. Webster, who sold the book by subscription only.

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
