Advice to a Wife on the Management of her own Health and on the Treatment of Some of the Complaints incidental to Pregnancy, Labour and Suckling
Pye Henry Chevasse
PB, 307 pages, an original 1884 edition, published by J&A Churchill
Like my bundle of six twentieth century books on these matters, a fascinating window on both the practicalities of marital sex and contraception and the attitudes of the day!
The spine is shot and the binding on the loose side, but considering that it's a 140 year old paperback, it's not doing so badly!
Please click on the scans to 'supersize' them and see the details of the images, as these form the major part of the description

Payment
I always get a Proof of Posting certificate, and if an item does get lost in the post I will forward it to you for you to make a claim, since as the Buyer you can claim the full amount of your loss
However, in over 20,000 parcels I've mailed out over the last fifteen years only about a dozen have gone astray, and most of these were overseas
If you're at all worried about losing something, do ask for Recorded Delivery - £1.30 extra in the UK and £7 for overseas
Shipping
Airmail takes between three and five days. The Post Office warns that Surface mail to the USA, Australia, etc, can take as long as 12 weeks, but it is, obviously, a lot cheaper
In practice, American buyers tell me that Surface mail usually takes between 14 and 21 days (and apparently it actually travels by air, filling any space after the official Airmail items are loaded)
