                     This 1868 book is in good condition for its age. The contents of this book are generally in very good condition, with just scattered light to moderate foxing of the hundred and fifty year old paper. A student has done quite a bit of writing in pencil on the rear flyleaf and inside of the rear cover, but the only other writing I see is a couple penciled names on the front flyleaf. The binding of this book is in very good condition functionally, but the front paperboard cover is so worn that the writing on it is mostly illegible. The pictures inside are very nice, and this is still considered a standard work on the subject. I find similar aged copies of this book ranging in price from fifteen to fifty dollars plus shipping.--

               THIS IS A HARDCOVER BOOK OF 233 PAGES, WHICH MEASURES ABOUT 7 AND A HALF BY 5 AND A HALF INCHES IN DIAMETER--I AM PUTTING THIS UP FOR A REASONABLE BUY-IT-NOW PRICE WITH FREE DOMESTIC SHIPPING, OR FEEL FREE TO SUBMIT YOUR BEST OFFER--GARY FROM HAUNTED MANSION RELIX--
