Sobre este artículo
Doylestown, PA: Henry C. Mercer for the Bucks County Historical Society, 1914. Book. Good. Full-Leather. 1st Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Original copy, bound in full brown morocco, lettered, bordered and with corner accents in gilt, five raised bands, original stiff gray wraps bound in. iv,174 pp., illus. 1st edition. Leather cracked along both joints, but binding is firm and fully intact, leather typically rubbed along joints, edges, and corners. Toning along fore-edge to front flyleaf and first several leaves, some soiling to bottom text block edge. Slight indentation along upper fore-edge of both covers. Former owner's address label mounted on lower front flyleaf, one leaf (pp. 29-30) mended with archival tape. Not the first leather-bound copy we've encountered, so we suspect that this copy is not rebound but rather one of a limited number of specially-bound copies original to issue, also issued in cloth and (most commonly) gray wraps lettered in burgundy and black..

Sobre Saucony Book Shop
The Saucony Book Shop, located in the heart of scenic rural Berks County, epicenter of Pennsylvania German folk culture (our shop specialty), offers a full range of gently used, rare, and antiquarian books, with many volumes of scholarly merit and an unabashed emphasis on the quaint, the curious, and the utterly obscure. We make no attempt to be a general-service book shop. Our inventory is highly selective, individually chosen from among the hundreds of thousands of books to which we have access annually at auctions, library and estate sales, and through individual scouts and vendors. We do not handle material that does not meet our expectations in terms of condition or interest to our specialized, idiosyncratic customers. Despite maintaining a browsing inventory of more than 15,000 volumes, we have minimized our carbon footprint by maintaining our entire operation in a cozy ca. 1890 barn and lean-to adjacent to an historic creamery in rural Maxatawny Township. Our shop is available for browsing by appointment and occasionally, in temperate weather, by chance, so email or call ahead to peruse the eclectic selection gracing our shelves, or ask our ferociously over-read staff for recommendations. Selling antiquarian books of merit since 1981. Full search and appraisal services; always keenly interested in purchasing quality used books, whether by the piece or by the bushel. Thanks for reading about us! Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
