Abraham Rees's monumental Cyclopaedia, which appeared in parts between 1802  and 1819 was one of the first works of its kind to be published in English which gave more than a passing reference to contemporary industry and technology. This new printing provides in five volumes, in the original alphabetical form the articles on manufacturing industry. Neil Cossons has added an introduction and bibliographic note to a work which is invaluable to historians of technology. 

Uniformly bound in blue paper covered boards.  Gilt title lettering to the spines. All with their dust jackets these are a little sunned and age soiled, and rubbed on the top edges, price clipped. The books are in very good condition, pages are clean and bright, tightly bound with no loose or missing pages.

 

29cm x 24cm.

Postage and packing : I know that you will be looking forward to receiving your order, each book is carefully wrapped in packing paper ( I have changed from bubble wrap to try and reduce my use of plastic) and posted in a Jiffy bag if size permitting, if not it is double wrapped in corrugated cardboard, brown paper and then securely taped. 

To keep the cost of the postage down to the most economical level per book, you may consider buying more than 1 item from my eBay account. You can then request a combined postage cost and I will combine the items into the fewest parcels as possible - saving you money :)

 

My main posting days are Monday and Thursday ie. If you place an order and payment is received after Thursday 12.00 noon your order will be posted out on Monday. 

If you place an order and payment is received after Monday 12.00 noon your order will be posted out Thursday morning. If you require your book urgently please contact me and I will do my best. :)
