Description
Three-quarter leather with gilt decorated spine, marbled paper boards, end papers and marbled page edges. Illustrated with 200 illustrations and a folding map. Mr. Seward traveled around the world only after first being the Governor of New York, Serving on the Senate, then become Secretary of State and engineering the Alaska purchase--talk about being accomplished! First edition, and printed 1873. 9.25 x 6.75 inches with 720 numbered pages. Very good condition. Spine has some small chips from the head and a few rubbed areas on leather around edges. Binding is just a little cocked, we will store with pressure opposite, and it should be corrected soon. Book is complete with all pages, tightly bound and clean, minus a few foxing spots around frontispiece engraved plate. Bookplate attached to inside front cover with the name Brenda Rush.

The order was shipped promptly, securely wrapped, the content was preserved, free from underlining and markings. Although they were stamped from library, the Seller has an eye for rare findings. These will propel my researchs well beyond what is covered in physical classes. A bit pricey, but worth the investment. As Sir William Osler states: “It is hard for me to speak of the value of libraries in terms which would not seem exaggerated… I have received incalculable benefits.”

Item was as listed, in nice condition for its age. Packaging for shipping held up to the rigors of traveling from seller to buyer with no damage other than broken rubber motor mounts, no fault of the seller, just old age and rotting rubber...but easy to replace. Shipping charges were very reasonable given the weight of the item. Overall, I would say this was a good value for the money for a classic Tektronix oscilloscope. I'm a happy buyer.
