You are considering on a vintage RARE LIMITED EDITION hard cover book, no DJ,  from the FRANKLIN LIBRARY:

CANDIDE by Voltaire.    Translated by Tobias Smollet, illustrated by Antoni Clave.

Published in 1979 with 154 pages.  Cover and spine are rich black color faux leather with 22K gold gilt.  Spine has 3 raised bars. Lower spine does not mention THE FRANKLIN LIBRARY.  Has 22k gold gilting on all three sides or page edges.   The end pages have a Moire silk design. Does not have a  satin ribbon.  Has an attached  (but not completed) bookplate on inside of front cover.

Franklin Library stopped publishing books in 2000.  Since that time, these books have become very collectible.  The quality is excellent and beautiful! Wonderful addition to any library.

This book  is in UNUSED condition. The gold gilting is intact.  No marks, tears or folds on any pages.  Binding is tight and clean. No bookplate, writing or markings.

SHIPPING TIME
I try to ship no later than the next business day after payment. Due to volume, however, I have a noon cut-off, so, if your payment is received after 12:00 noon, it will not be mailed until at least the next business day. Saturdays and Sundays are not business days. Occasionally, I am out of town on Fridays or Mondays. Packages that will be traveling by FedEx Ground or UPS may take an extra day to get shipped as I am not close to their drop-off locations.

S/H For MULTIPLE PURCHASES: I will combine multiple items whenever possible and normally reduce total shipping costs.

IMPORTANT!!!!!!
International Shipping: Import duties, taxes, and charges are NOT INCLUDED in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding / buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. I will not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" as US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.
