Item Description
This listing is for an Easton Press collector's edition of The Blue Poetry Book by Andrew Lang. This edition was released in 2014 and is reprint of the original 1891 version. This book is very hard to come by with the slipcase.
This book looks to be in like new condition with a very stiff spine. I acquired a great number of Easton Press books from a very serious collector that had over two hundred different titles. None ever looked to have been read. So this is a great opportunity to pick one up at fraction of the cost a new one cost from the publisher. In case your wondering, their books start at $84.90 with many pushing a thousand dollars. They are very high quality and they put a lot of work into crafting each edition.
Item Condition
I made sure to take as many pics as possible. So please take a close look at the pictures for exact condition as I tried to take them from every angle possible. After all, some people's “perfect” is another person's “mauled by a bear.” But this book really is in mint condition and looks to never have been cracked open much less read.

“Officially” this item is being sold as is with no returns. Unofficially, I will of course take care of any concerns you may have. I pride myself on taking great care of my customers. I just don’t do it officially because I have been burned a couple of times by buyers on some high value items. To be blunt, if you return an item in similar condition to what it was sent out I will take care of it. If it comes back being run over by a steam roller because you work on a road crew and I can tell where you tried to get all the asphalt off with a jackhammer . . . then please refer to the first sentence where this item is “being sold as is with no returns.”
