Sobre este artículo
London, England: Printed for the Author, 1826. Book. VG+. Buckram. First Edition. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Original edition, ex-libris, newly rebound in burgundy cloth, with spine panel lettered in gold foil, new endpapers, new head- and tail-bands, text block edges very slightly shaved. Perforation stamp to title page and first leaf of Preface (pp. iii/iv), a few stamps on verso of title page, otherwise unmarked. xv,516 pp. (final page "Errata"), illus. w/ folding frontis. map, + 10 plates (1 folding map, 3 engraved plates, 6 lithographed plates), all present and intact, without library markings, slightly foxed. (Binders' directions provided on p. xv.) Eight (8) leaves in Ch. 1 show closed tears extending from fore-edge through margins and into the text (in several cases across the leaf to the binding gutter) but no loss, all professsionally mended with clear archival tape, and barely noticeable. No other internal defects, excepting mild wear to some corners, slight and scattered soiling. Large foldout map of Asia as conquered by Genghis Khan, etc. in the 13th-15th centuries ("Great Tartary") is detached and laid in; 995+ intact with some very slight loss along edges and one fold, separated and reattached along one of the two vertical folds, with archival tape repairs to blank verso along other folds and some closed tears/chipping along edges; several of the recent archival tape repairs are laid over earlier non-archival tape, removing which seemed likely to harm the map; there is one approx. 1" section of archival tape mounted on the front of the map, along a fold, with all other repairs made on verso only. Book presents "as new" by virtue of rebinding, contents VG+, map VG+. Overall, a conservatively restored copy that will remain durable for decades of an exceptionally scarce issue..

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.
