I am not a professional bookseller. I found this book at an estate sale. Page 137-138 has detached -  but it is included in the book - it is loose - see photos. The rest appear attached, but I did not thumb through every page because the book appears delicate. What I found interesting is what looks like a stamped design on the fore-edge, head, and tail (where gilding is typically applied). It is a compact book. It is yellow with age. You are buying this book not for the information - because that has been reprinted many times according to a quick search on the internet - but for the history of this book, being over 100 years old.

I saw several versions of this book for much higher price and thought someone would like to take a chance on this one for less.

Please see photos -they are worth 1000 words and show much more than I can describe in words. 

Please send any questions you have.


I sometimes travel for work (where I sometimes find my treasures), so that is why I selected that it might take me 3 days to ship. If I am at home, I will ship ASAP.

Ships from Milwaukee, WI.

Thank you for considering the purchase! Your purchase really helps my family!

PLEASE! If there are issues, contact me and give me a chance to make it right before you leave bad feedback.

I generally do not take items to the post office on the weekends. Generally, the items would just sit there until Monday anyway, and I have found the Postal service loses packages they hold over the weekend at an unacceptably high rate.

Also, as a policy, eBay does not count weekends or Holidays as business days.
