About This Item
This 160 year-old book is in very good condition considering its age. Binding is soiled, scuffed and gilt titles are faded. Corners and spine ends are bumped. Hinges are tight and pages somewhat browned with age with occasional foxing, especially on end papers. Twelve black and white engravings throughout. The early days of New York's stock market is described with all its characters, swindlers, winners and losers playing their part.
All proceeds benefit The Friends of the San Anselmo Library. No expedited shipping outside of the United States.
