Pages tanned but clean/unmarked, numerous (perhaps 30) pages show head corner turned down. Collated, all pages and illus confirmed present. A solid copy of old school (Edwardian) history. We personally inspect every book we offer.

About Furrowed Brow Books

Furrowed Brow Books was established in 2020. The bookstore's owner, Paul Purman, grew up in an old farmhouse full of books.

In 2021 Paul was accepted as a member of the Independent Online Booksellers' Association (IOBA), and graduated from the annual Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS-Minnesota).
