SHIPPING IN COVID TIMES: Please note that at this time, the post office is VERY VERY slow and if you need this by a specific time, you'll need to select Priority Mail or it may take a couple weeks or longer to get there. I know it's more expensive, but it's the only way to insure a quick delivery...
A MASSIVE BOOK!
THE FIVE SCROLLSILLUSTRATED BY LEONARD BASKINEDITED BY BRONSTEIN AND FRIEDLANDER
Before I begin, let me say that this is one of the most beautiful books I have ever offered, and if it weren't a duplicate, I'd never let it go! THE FIVE SCROLLS, illustrated by Leonard Baskin presents new translations of five of the most beloved books of the Bible: Ecclesiastes, Esther, Song of Songs, Ruth, and Lamentations.
In the living Jewish community, each of these books is joined to one of the Holy Days. each is an organic part of the round of the seasons, as seed time & harvest, blossom time and fruit.
Enriched with 37 specially commissioned watercolor paintings by Baskin - one of the finest Jewish artists of our time - this work conveys the passion, the richness of color, motif, sound, and meaning of Jewish history..
For each scroll, an introduction and special liturgies intended for use at home or synagogue have been prepared, joining the text tot he mood, themes, and images of each Holy Day. Explanatory notes and essays help communicate the meaning and historical background of the holiday.
ECCLESIASTES ~ Read on Sukkot, Ecclesiastes suggests that if wisdom fails as a human attempt to dominate existence, an unconditional faith remains which banishes all insecurity. It is a sparkling array of ideas about the nature of life and the reality of death, rarely surpassed in literature. ESTHER ~ The embellishments and wit of this book make it a classic of the storytelling art. 
All the elements are here: the beautiful heroine against the wicked villain, the blood feud between Haman and Mordecai, the drunken King Ahasuerus, with a new girl for every night and a head of straw. Every Purim the reading of the Megillah renews our hope, reminds us that good can conquer evil. SONG OF SONGS ~ A collection of songs about love and nature, kings and princesses, shepherds and their dalliance, the Song of Songs is assigned by Jewish tradition to the springtime festival of Passover, which celebrates the youth of Israel as a covenant people, the springtime of the Exodus and Sinai. RUTH ~ A statement of loyalty and faith enduring through all generations, Ruth is a book for all times - the nightingale song of love and trust in our tradition. It is a lyrical tale told to perfection, simplicity blended with profound meaning. Read on Shavuot, the time of the Giving of the Law, it is a happy book for a season of joy.

He has held to a figurative style as the most forceful conveyor of his humanist themes. For Baskin, the human form is noble and he presents it with a tragic dignity and attenuated grace that have become the overwhelming charastics of his work.
His style is instantly recognizable. Here are a few more of the incredible illustrations provided from within. As nice as these are, you really must see the actual to apprciate them fully...
KING AHUSUEROS
HAMAN
BOAZ
RUTH and NAOMI
QUEEN VASHTI

About Me & This Item...
I am a private collector of art, books, music (10,000 records alone!) and "stuff" and am very picky about what I buy. I don't like surprises when I buy things from auctions any more than you do. I promise everything there is to know about this item is in this description. I also do not subscribe to "grading" as frankly, grading is totally inconsistent and most of the "graders" TRULY have no clue, so I will use plain English if it is OK with you...
- *This is a gorgeous hardcover book with original unclipped dustjacket in near perfect condition. It is a VERY NICE copy. Enjoy!
For over a decade, I have sold tens of thousands of items on eBay and have only received a handful of complaints about the accuracy in my descriptions. Having met eBay standards for excellence in trading, you may bid with confidence knowing you will get what you THINK you are bidding on! Please check my feedback. It is a record I am very proud of...
I have LOTS of music items, and tons of books available for purchase. Please check my other offerings to see if there is anything else you might be interested in for combined shipping. There are links above and below and why not bookmark my site to make it easier to find at a later date!
PAYMENT TERMS: Pretty simple. Pay me, I send it, BUT ONLY TO A REGISTERED ADDRESS! Please do not ask to have it sent to an alternate location as I won't be able to comply per eBay policy. See below..
Why Are My Shipping & Handling Costs a Bit Higher than Other Sellers? Please Read on... GUARANTEED DELIVERY OR YOUR MONEY BACK!
I really DO CARE about when and how your product gets to you. Because the post office is so incredibly inept, I ONLY SHIP domestic packages INSURED, which is AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDED in the shipping cost, and that is not free as the post office charges for it. If your parcel gets lost OR damaged in freight, your item will be replaced if one is available OR you will be completely refunded! IMPORTANT MONEY SAVING TIP! If you are buying more than one of my items and would like to SAVE MONEY by COMBINING SHIPPING costs, I will be happy to do so, but eBay has now made it more difficult to get discounts by confusing people with "Buy it Now" and "Add to Cart" options on non-auction style pages. If you are buying one item from a seller use the Buy it Now. BUT IF YOU WANT COMBINED or FREE SHIPPING, DO NOT USE THE BUY IT NOW button! Instead, select ADD TO CART. Then use your BACK button on your browser and select the other items you want that qualify using ADD TO CART each time. When you are finished, look for the shopping cart icon at the top right corner of your eBay page and click on it. Find the blue button which reads COMMIT TO BUY & SEND REQUEST. Once done, the items will be held and I will create a single invoice with either combined or free shipping. NOTE: I cannot retroactively go back and combine items that are not purchased in this manner so PLEASE PAY ATTENTION.
Once you receive your invoice, payment is expected promptly! All of the payment info you need will be listed including multiple shipment options.
Some states will require sales tax to be collected. Ebay will collect such as required. I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THIS!
PAYMENT OPTIONS:
I accept Credit Cards, eChecks and electronic transfers with 
. Unfortunately, direct bank transfers are not offered due to cost and security concerns. As I reside in the USA, all payments must be made in US Dollars & Cents.
SHIPPING ADDRESSES: IMPORTANT!! I can ONLY SHIP to the address as noted in PAYPAL'S "TRANSACTION DETAILS". If you want it shipped to an alternate location, you will need to register that address BEFORE paying or it will be shipped to the registered address.
SHIPPING COSTS: Shipping costs will be determined by weight & destination! You may click on the SHIPPING & PAYMENT tab found at the top of the page, just under the item's picture for all shipping options to all destinations both domestic and international. There you will find drop down boxes for your location and you can then use the shipping calculator to determine the correct cost for where you live.
REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT SHIPPING TIMES: Media Mail (once known as 4th class mail) is a special class of postage for books, music, videos and other printed media available within the US and territories. It is far less expensive than Priority Mail, but - it ..... is ........... slooowwwww!!!! Despite USPS claims of 3-9 day delivery times, MEDIA MAIL CAN actually TAKE UP TO 3 WEEKS to arrive, and their tracking info is frequently not updated until it actually arrives, making that feature pretty useless! PLEASE remember this when you leave feedback scores as the choice is yours and not my fault if it takes a long time to get there! If you want it in a week or less, you are going to have to bite the bullet and pay for Priority Mail which will get it there in 2-3 working days, 99% of the time, but it is more expensive. Basically, the choice is yours, but if you choose media mail, please don't write to me in 5 days asking where your package is, because the post office will have it and most of the time, they don't have a clue!
