Description
Offered is the antique leather-bound book "The Mothers of Some Distinguished Georgians", compiled by Sarah Harriet Butts and published in New York by J. J. Little & Co. The book, containing almost 100 mini-biographies of women (see photos #4 & #5 for list), many mothers of governors or Civil War generals and other officers, has a 1902 copyright date and appears to be a first edition. An illustration is included for over three dozen of the women (see photo #6 for list). The book is approx. 11 1/2" x 9 1/4" and contains 194 pages. It is in fair to good condition. The brown leather cover has considerable wear, with the entire spine surface missing. There are also some other small areas where the surface is missing, scuffs, etc. The gold words on the front are still shiny, however. There is no cracking inside either the front or back cover. The patterned endpapers are mostly clean but have a few spots. I see no missing pages but there are a few small edge tears. All the pages are well-attached to the binding. They are edged in gold on all three sides and this is mostly intact and shiny. They have yellowed but there is little foxing and are otherwise generally clean and clear. I see no writing in the book. I have a lot of experience with vintage and antique books but am not an expert so please let me know if my description is missing information and you have additional questions. I will do my best to answer them! Please take a moment to look at some of the other items in my eBay store!

The book arrived on time and in good condition. The box it was packed in was a little large and the book had shifted a little in transit, but as it was wrapped inside it handled the bumps well. The price was good for the condition and everything seemed as it should. Thanks!!!

THE BEST media mail shipment I've ever received! Book was tucked in a plastic sleeve to protect from moisture, then carefully packed inside a sturdy cardboard box (with lots of packing!). Item arrived quickly, as well. I look forward to buying from this seller again!
