Sobre este artículo
London: Richard Bentley, 1836. 4 volumes, complete. Good condition. A reading/reference set. NOT in collector's condition. SEE PHOTOS. Covers rubbed. Hinges frayed. Pages are clean and unmarked with only minimal foxing. Part of the top edge of a map in Vol. 1 is torn away (the map is still complete; loss is only to part of the blank margin). NO owner's name or bookplate. 1836. Second Edition in English, with much material and many illustrations not published in the 1830 first edition, making this the preferred edition. 4 volumes: Vol. I: xxi, 392pp; Vol. II: xii, 404pp; Vol. III: viii, 400pp; Vol. IV: iv, 420pp. Complete with 28 plates - a frontispiece in each of the 4 volumes, a folding plan, one facsimile & 22 other portraits/plates. The facsimile of Napoleon's Abdication appears near page 208 in Volume 4, rather than in Vol. 3 as called for by the binder's instructions. The 4 volumes are uniformly bound in three quarter green calf (spine and corners), and green marbled boards. The spines are elaborated gilt decorated. Gilt-stamped brown leather spine labels are chipped and rubbed, moreso for Vol 4. SEE PHOTOS. Matching green marbled endpapers. All edges of the text block are also marbled. Subtitle: "With Anecdotes and Illustrative Notes from All the Most Authentic Sources." This heavy 4 volume set will require extra postage for Priority and International shipments. But for media mail, you pay only our standard charge for 1 volume and we ship the other 3 volumes at no extra cost. . Second Edition, Expanded. Hardcover (heavy 4 vol. set). Good condition. Illus. by NOT a library discard. 4 volumes. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

Sobre About Books
About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you wish to visit us to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
