THIS IS COMPLETE AND EXCEEDINGLY RARE. ALL DOCUMENTS ARE PRESENT AND IN NEAR FINE CONDITION WITH AGE RELATED PAPER TONING. EACH HAS A TRANSLATION ATTACHED TO IT IN ENGLISH EXCEPT FOR KARL MARX'S LETTER TO ABRAHAM LINCOLN, WHICH IS ALREADY IN ENGLISH. THERE ARE NINE DOCUMENTS, SEVERAL WITH MULTIPLE PAGES, WHICH MATCH THE 9 DOCUMENTS LISTED IN THE FOUR FOLDERS. THE OUTER FOLDER IS IN POOR CONDITION WITH VERY HEAVY DISCOLORATION AND PROBABLY MISSING A FLAP. THERE IS A SINGLE PIECE OF ACID FREE DOCUMENT REPAIR TAPE INSIDE BOTTOM OF OUTER FOLDER TO KEEP THE BOTTOM INCH ATTACHED. 

Uncommon portfolio of facsimile documents. While I don't read Russian, I can count and each item listed at the front of each folder is accounted for.  Outer portfolio folder is in poor condition and heavily soiled. Two inner folders have splits at bottom of fold. Documents are in excellent condition in all instances. Note that, even among the very few copies that you can find images of online, my folder remains the nicest, even though it is still sort of a mess.

Published by the State Publishing House of Political Literature, Moscow, 1939

I utilize a third party EBAY supplied shipper for international sales. This is part of the Global Shipping Program. Please note the actual shipping cost before purchasing. That is not my shipping fee and I neither receive it nor know what the amount is. I have no control over import fees that may be charged. Please do not commit to "buy it now" until you have seen the shipping amount that you will be charged. Global shipping service does not allow combined shipping from a single seller for items purchased at different times, but I believe that it can be done if you want to purchase multiple items from one seller. I believe that, if you "add to cart" and then do a single "Buy it Now" with the items in the cart, you may be able to combine International purchases.

PLEASE NOTE: For book sales, I virtually always include a vinyl bag tightly wrapped on the exterior. This is an attempt to prevent any USPS employee from opening the package for inspection as it would be time consuming for them to repackage it. This is done simply because my packaging is done more carefully than their repackaging and also to protect the book from the elements. The vinyl bag covers cardboard protection and you can simply cut the  bag open (carefully) and remove the contents. The cardboard protection is also typically held with tape and cutting in the obvious places will allow the cardboard to pop right open, exposing the book (in another protective vinyl bag). Using this method, you should be able to open any book I send in under a minute. No "buzz saw" is required.  Thank you
