Sobre este artículo

Boston: Small, Maynard & Company, 1915. Near Fine in the publisher's original coarse green cloth. Title-labels on both the spine and the front board. 291pps., plus 15 plates of various street urchins, a frontispiece, and eight pages of advertisements for other titles. No dustjacket. There is a bit of sunning to the spine and to its label. Light foxing at the top of the frontispiece and a few of the plates. Otherwise clean, tight, square, and bright. All tips are sharp. No reading wear. An excellent copy of a sad and scarce title concerning child-labor and the neglect of children early in the twentieth-century: part of the publisher's human welfare series. SIGNED and inscribed by the author to Dr. J. J. Reilly, 'with compliments of The Little People', on the ffep. ".He lives in gangs, rambles about the streets, lodges in the open; he runs, watches, begs, kills time, colors pipes, swears like a fiend, haunts the wine-shops, knows thieves, is familiar with women of the town, talks slang, sings filthy songs, and has nothing bad in his head, for he has in his soul a pearl innocence, and pearls are not dissolved in mud." -- (with compliments to) Victor Hugo, from Les Miserables (and the frontispiece). Purchase with confidence: all books, gradings, and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile. Satisfaction guaranteed or all costs you've incurred will be promptly refunded. Thanks for your interest in Nooks Of Books. To assist with your decision, photos can be emailed upon request.. SIGNED by the Author. First Edition. Cloth.

Nooks Of Books


Payment Methods Accepted:
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover Card, and checks or money orders made out to Jeffrey C. Wright. You can also, if you like, make your payment -- credit card or bank transfer -- through Paypal.com (Acct name: nooksofbooks@comcast.net).

Grading:
Dealers who are otherwise members of prestigious bookselling organizations should know that you can\'t grade a book Fine if it\'s remaindered; nor can a dustjacket be graded Fine that is price-clipped. And yet we see this sort of thing -- more and more -- and from all manner of establishments. It reflects poorly on the industry.
Thus, we recommend that any prospective online customer insist on a thorough description (such as are issued through these Nooks) for any collectible item. We\'re well-versed, here, in the grading process and we do so fairly if not conservatively.

Refunds:
We understand all too well the hesitancy of some collectors to make their purchases online, particularly in such cases where books are scarce or costly. We, therefore, stress the integrity in these Nooks. Your satisfaction is guaranteed, or all costs you\'ve incurred will be refunded -- no questions asked -- providing the book is returned to us in the same condition within two weeks.

Shipping:
Though most booksellers are quite professional and know how to properly handle their wares, I\'ve noticed (being a book-buyer, too) that many online shops can be slipshod and amateurish in their shipping practices. This being so, we\'d like to assure you: when you buy from us the item will be nicely and securely presented. It will be gift-wrapped, sealed in a plastic bag to protect it against water damage, encased in bubble wrap and/or foam \'peanuts\' and boxed. We ship books out the way we like to receive them. Except, perhaps, in the rare occasion of an inexpensive reading copy, I\'d not think of consigning a book from these Nooks to the hard knocks of the postal system in a simple bubble-mailer. You won\'t get that shoddy handling here.

Insurance:
It is our policy to pay the insurance for any purchase over $200.00. Should you like to provide your own insurance for less of a sum, the cost is $1.30 for $50.00 of coverage, $2.20 for $100.00, and $3.20 for up to $200.00 of coverage. Insurance, in such cases, is suggested (simply state your preference in the comments segment during checkout) as we cannot be responsible for books that are lost in transit.
