Sobre este artículo
Dublin, Ireland: Printed by William Porter, for L. White, P. Byrne, P.Wogan, C. lewis, and A. Gruebier, 1789. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Good. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover, original full leather binding with gilt and red label to spine. Exterior shows scuffing and soiling along with edge and corner bumps/wear. The leather at the exterior hinge points is starting to crack, with the worst being the rear board. Internal binding is good and text pages are tight though one of the rear end pages is missing. The title page bears the signature of Alexander Pitt Buchanan (Maryland and Virginia). There is also quite a bit of handwriting, mostly in pencil, on the front end pages and pastedown as well as the rear and page. This penciling includes signatures from the second owner: Mr. Oliver Faulkner of Winchester VA. The text pages appear unmarked though they are darkened with age and foxing is present throughout. This appears to be the first Dublin edition, with the publication also being published in London in the same year.

Yesterday's Book Shop (Member IOBA)
Purchases will ship by US Media Mail or Priority Mail (if buyer selects) and higher priced items may have insured placed on the order and will typically ship within one business day. Additional postage may be required for multiple volume books or books weighing over 5 lbs., but only in unusual cases. Insurance is available upon request though we normally place insurance on any item of $75 or higher at no additional cost to the buyer. Non-US sales will ship by First Class International or Global Priority. Additional postage may be required for multiple volume books or books weighing over 4 lbs.
We always take extra care in packaging and shipping. Books are typically wrapped in packing paper or bubblewrap before packaged in a sturdt shipping box. All orders, even those shipped by US Media Mail, will be given a USPS tracking number which will be sent to the buyer so they will know when to expect arrival. Please let us know if there is a book with incorrect or missing photos. We recently moved the inventory to Biblio and a title or two may have had issues with the photos being transferred over.
Yesterday's Book shop is owned and operated by a disabled veteran. Due to my limitations, I often have to rely on speech-to-text software to list the books. If the description has typos ("and pages" instead of "end pages", pace downs instead of pastedowns, guilt instead of gilt, etc,) PLEASE let me know so I can correct the listing. The software spells words by phonetics and can make errors that I may not catch.
There is a 30 day money back guarantee if the book arrives damaged or is not as described. Please contact us prior if you have any issues with your purchases and we will make sure you are taken care of.

Sobre Yesterday's Book Shop (Member IOBA)
Yesterday's Book Shop is an independent, family-owned establishment. The store first opened in 1966 under the name Collector's Corner and was located in Western Maryland. The Collector's Corner dealt mainly in books but also sold stamps and assorted ephemera. In 1975 the name was changed to Yesterday's Book Shop when the store only offered books and printed matter. In the early 2000s the brick and mortar store was closed and now we only sell online.
