You are bidding on Round the Red Lamp written by Arthur Conan Doyle.  Published in 1894 (NYC) by D. Appleton & Company, this 307 page hardcover book is a first edition (although no statement on the copyright page).  Found at estate, the is a nice older volume with a cleaner inside.  A few issues which I'll list:

1) the spine is missing pieces at the top and bottom
2) There is a bookplate on the inside front cover
3) There appears to be a missing blank page in the front (before title page)

That stated, the inside is very clean with no foxing.  A nice early copy and great addition to any collection.

I use the US Postal Service and use priority mail to ensure quick delivery although size/weight can often be a deterrent due to a balloon fee on boxes over a certain size. Shipping costs are based on weight and distance from my home in Fairhaven, MA. In simplest terms, I ship priority mail unless it is a book (then I ship using media mail) or if the item is bigger than a breadbox or heavier than 5 lbs (unless I can fit it in a flat rate box).   I'm also open to local pick-up at my home in Fairhaven.

I've been selling on Ebay since 1998 but this is not a full time job. I'm happy to answer all questions but please be aware that these questions are normally answered after I have returned home from work. I encourage you to look at my other auctions for a wide variety of items. I often sell glass, pottery, books, art, and other unusual items one may find at yard sales and estate sales. Best of luck in your bidding and thanks for your time looking at my auction.
