New York; Dodd, Mead; London: James Clarke; Stuttgart: Deutsche Verlags-Anstalt, 1898. Copyright 1897 by Paul Haupt. Part of a series under Haupt's editorship. Reddish (similar to terra-cotta) hardcover, 10-3/8 inches tall, xii + 216 pp., 9 full page (unpaginated) plates in main text, 28 other illus. in notes at back. Text of Isaiah has passages blocked out in shades of blue, red, and purple (thus, "polychrome") to indicate different compositions or borrowings. This copy in fair or perhaps good condition. Not a former library book, but book does appear somewhat worn. Spine rubbed (appears mottled from loss of color on cloth) and torn at head and tail. Decorative boards slightly warped; back board sl. damp-stained and spotted on free edge. Text in overall good condition with the exception of damp-staining in margins. Small tear (about 1/2 inch) in margins of pp. 18-24. Aside from the sl. reddish stains in margins, text looks very clean and free of marks. Former owner's name inside front cover. Although this copy has a number of defects, it is a good study copy, not a collector's trophy. Fair condition--good reading copy. Photo available on request.

Store Description

I started selling books online around 1997-8, first on Bibliofind and then on Amazon. In my youth, I worked for a college textbook store and later at a university library. So I'm no stranger to scholarly books. Although semi-retired now, I still collect books and currently list for sale items no longer wanted in my personal library. Thus I do not have a large inventory as I am working from home. Still, I have an eclectic collection as befits a former librarian. My stock includes textbooks and scholarly books, with an emphasis on history, philosophy, and religion. My approval rating when I was with Amazon was 99% (2 were neutral). I'll try to accommodate any reasonable request.
