I have here for sale a book entitled GOETHE'S OPINIONS N THE WORLD, MANKIND LITERATURE, SCIENCE AND ART. Translated by OTTO WENCKSTERN.  This first edition was published in 1853 by PARKER, London. 

The collection of Goethe's sentiments and opinions has been extracted from his published correspondence with Schiller, Zelter, Stolberg et al and are confined to those opinions only which Goethe wrote or pronounced as his own.

Hand marbled endpapers. With the original silk bookmark. Surface loss to areas of the leather - please see photos. Light foxing to the first and last few pages, otherwise the pages are clean and bright. Central crease mark on the title page.  Pencil marks in the margins of a few of the pages. This book is in very good condition, tightly bound with no loose or missing pages. 174pp  17cm x 11cm.

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. :)
