Sobre este artículo
London and Cairo: Thos. Cook & Son, 1905. Ninth Edition . Hardcover. Good-. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover, thin flexible brown cloth boards decorated in gilt on front and spine. Exterior shows scuffing and bumping with minor wear to the corners. Top edge of front board has a small scrape. Marbled end pages in front and rear. Binding is cracking in several locations and is fragile. This is a unique copy as it was the reference book for the noted historian Arthur S. Riggs and contains his signature on the half title page as well as notes penciled in the back of the book. Another interesting issue with this book is on the second end page where there is a modified poem by Edith M. Thomas. Ms. Thomas modified the poem entitled "Memmon" , which first appeared in The Century Magazine in 1908. The published poem was shortened and written on this page. Please note: this page also has some penciling, possibly from previous booksellers. They hinge is also cracked on this page. The remaining text pages only show a few scattered notes or paragraph markings. Perhaps two or three pages. The foldout map on page 642 is still present. Even the slip of paper that Mr. Riggs used to mark the page on reading Egyptian writing is still inside the book.

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.
