Sobre este artículo
New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold Co., 1978. Book. Good. Hardcover. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Complete in four (4) volumes, uniformly bound in white cloth-effect paper covered boards, lettered in black. All volumes present only slight handling wear, but all are compromised to a certain degree by dampstaining. Exterior is mostly cosmetic, with mild staining and/or minor paper residue limited to upper spine panels and upper cover areas adjacent to joints (binding corners). All text blocks show darkening at top binding corner, with mildew staining (not active) and/or paper adhesion issues at top corners of most plates, mostly confined to margins but not entirely in a few instances, also minor adhesion/tearing issues along binding gutter to a few plates, affecting Vols. 1 and 2 mildly, Vol. 3 moderately, Vol. 4 minimally, thus overall Good only. All plates are essentially intact, with a few showing slight surface loss at top left corner only, and thus this set is still quite useful as a reference or working copy -- or (shudder) for breaking and framing individual plates. Strand Book Store (NYC) price stickers mounted on front flyleaves of Vols. 2-4. Dust jackets show light shelf wear, Vols. 2-4 with price clipped front flaps, Vol. 3 with some wrinkling to portions of rear panel, all in mylar. 132 + 108 + 128 + 108 pp., reproducing a total of 220 full page color plates (60 each in Vols. 1 and 3, 50 each in Vols. 2 and 4)..

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.
