This antique hardcover "original" edition of "The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table" comes in acceptable condition, with paper splitting at the rear hinge (but otherwise intact binding), writing on the reverse side of the title page, light edge wear and soiling to the spine and cover, yellowing of the inside pages, and additional minor handling wear (see pictures).  

The book is a small format (6" x 4.5"), with an ornate cover.  It includes essays by Oliver Wendell Holmes that had originally appeared in The Atlantic Monthly in the 1850's.

The book was published by Donohue Henneberry & Company (undated, but inscribed "1896" by prior owner).

I have several great items listed, and would gladly combine shipping for multiple purchases.  Feel free to ask any questions or request more pictures.

Seller Policies

Satisfaction: 100% satisfaction is my goal.  Contact me directly through the eBay messages system for fast resolution of any issues that may arise with your purchase.

Payment: Immediate payment is welcome and appreciated, though multiple purchases will receive a combined shipping invoice.  PayPal is the standard form of payment, unless other arrangements are made in advance (local pick up, etc.).

Shipping: There are usually two or more shipping options offered.  Additional options can be used at the buyer's request, where applicable.  Postage costs are calculated before actual packaging, so the actual cost may vary slightly from what is paid by the buyer.

International Sales:  I ship Worldwide.  Any customs duties, fees, or taxes collected by the destination country are the responsibility of the buyer.  It is against Postal regulations to declare merchandise as a "gift".
