Description

The Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus by Samuel Eliot Morison, 1993 Easton Press Leather Collector's Edition Easton Press Collector's Editions feature: Premium Leather Silk Moire Endleaves Distinctive Cover Design Hubbed Spine, Accented in Real 22KT Gold Satin Ribbon Page Marker Gilded Page Edges Long-lasting, High Quality Acid-neutral Paper Smyth-sewn Pages for Strength and Durability Please see my other listings for more Easton Press books at very reasonable prices. I will be listing them over the next few weeks. Book is in Very Good+ condition with very little wear and no notable shelf wear. Book is likely unread. Notable issues are the Easton-provided book plate with previous owner's name filled in is adhered to inside front cover, there is a patch of white on the text block where gilt edging has disappeared, and there are some rough spots on the inside edge of the front cover that may be natural to the leather. Otherwise, covers and pages are square, clean, bright, and unmarked. Evidence supporting the claim of "unread" is the uniformity of the gilt page edges, especially at corners which should be extremely sharp (see pictures), and the triangular fold of the ribbon marker on the top text block as from the publisher. Binding is tight. Please see pictures as they are considered part of the condition description. I take numerous photos of the actual item and describe it as accurately so you don't have to risk your buying decision on stock photos and generic condition descriptions. A portion of this sale goes to the Second Harvest Food Bank in Northwest North Carolina in honor of my father-in-law who was a director of a food bank. Many people experience hunger on a regular basis and they rely on food banks. The destruction caused by Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina has made their situation worse. Thank you for supporting them with your purchase. Please visit my eBay store The Book Foundery for more unique and vintage books. Maybe I found something for you! SATISFACTION GUARANTEED: If you are unhappy with any aspect of this transaction, please contact me immediately. I will work hard to keep buyers happy and to resolve the rare problem promptly. QUALITY PACKAGING: I care about your purchase! I package books and DVDs protected in plastic sleeves for water protection and wrapped carefully for safe and secure shipping. There are cheaper, easier, and faster ways to package items for shipping but the risk of damage during shipment is not worth it for you or me. I am proud of the specific positive feedback I have received related to packaging, accurate descriptions, and customer care. USPS MEDIA MAIL: I ship books and DVDs by USPS media mail. Media mail is generally reasonably fast, but can rarely take up to 8 days, so please be patient. Shipping outside of the U.S. is handled by the eBay Global Shipping program. I ship to the eBay international shipping clearing house in Kentucky and eBay takes it from there. eBay adds on the extra cost for international shipping and I have no control over that cost or how long it takes. eBay should give you a shipping estimate/total on the listing page for your particular order. POSITIVE FEEDBACK: If you believe you would be happy to purchase something from me again in the future, please consider leaving me positive feedback for this purchase as it really helps small eBay sellers like me. I leave feedback for buyers once they have posted feedback for me. Let's do this together! Enjoy!
