8vo, 13.5x9.2cm, handcolored copper plate engraving from Illustrations of the Manners, Customs, and Conditions of the North American Indian. Though some plates were colored in early editions of Catlin's famous study of North American Indians in 1842, the fresh color and later date of this example suggests that it was colored at a later date. [Note: we grade conservatively and endeavor to identify any defects that might affect overall quality and price.].

Terms of sale
We are professional booksellers, autograph dealers, and antiquarians (members of the ABAA & ILAB) who began in business in 1969. We pride ourselves on providing books, autographs, art, and artifacts in the Best Available Condition (typically Fine, Very interesting, Scarce, or Unusual items).
Our descriptions strive to be scrupulously accurate. Whenever possible, we detail flaws, include photographs of stock listed (rather than "stock photos"), and provide some background on the authors, creators, or rare items catalogued.
Our principal expert, James M. Borg, has a broad background academically (Univ. of Michigan & its Law School; MA & Ph.D., Northwestern Univ.).
Professionally, he served as an Army officer during the Vietnam War; subsequently founded successful firms; concurrently taught English, history, and business communications at colleges and universities; and thereafter worked as a management cconsultant for a major long-established Cambridge-based consulting firm and a top accounting firm.
In addition, Dr. Borg has serious longtime collecting interests and expertise in books, autographs, selected art, artifacts, and antiquities.
All sales are made from orders placed on line, and--regrettably--our premises and inventory are no longer open for visitors.
Shipping terms
All our books and items are carefully packed. They are usually shipped in Manilla padded-envelopes or sturdy boxes with additional bubble wrap, styrofoam "popcorn," or other protective layers. We strive to ship within 24 hours of receiving orders--allowing extra time for weekends or holidays.
Books shipped within the United States are usually shipped via USPS Media Mail. Postal charges for Media Mail typically run from $3.17 to around $5. When site-posted charges--usually $4.95--exceed actual USPS charges, any overage helps to defray our packaging and shipping costs.
Those books requiring extra-swift transport or -care are often shipped via USPS Priority Mail. Postage charges usually average $13.50 for up to precisely 2 pounds, but rapidly escalate thus possibly making it necessary to contact clients.
Autographs & manuscripts, art & artifacts are usually shipped in stout boxes with padding and reinforcement. Because Media Mail rates do not then apply, we normally use USPS Priority mail, but also ship via UPS and FedEx. Extra charges for insurance are often necessary for valuable items.
Overseas' shipments (as to Europe) weighing with packaging Not more than 2 pounds usually incur postage charges of between $13.50 to $25. Those between 2 - 4 pounds average around $35. Packages of more than 4 pounds usually need to be quoted.
