About this Item

Twelfth Stereotype edition. Sub-title continues "with the pronunciation and accentuation according to the method of Webster and Heinsius. For general use". English-German and German-English, with accompanying text in both languages. The first edition stressed that this dictionary was aimed especially at speakers of American English, although this edition does not state this explicitly. Quarter leather, gilt titles to spine, boards covered in what is possibly shagreen. German entries and explanatory text printed in Fraktur. Condition: Board covering very worn, with a damaged area to rear board revealing the board itself underneath the covering. Considerable age-tanning to pages; spotting and staining to title pages. Binding secure, but joint strained at title pages. Previous owner's names etc to front end papers, very occasional pencil notes in margins. One earlier reader (L Wilson, Elthorne Park Road, Hanwell, London W) was a pupil at Southall County School. Seller Inventory # 6353

COVID-19 UPDATE:

as Post Offices return to normal hours we can once again offer Royal Mail Special Delivery Next Day as our Expedited Shipping option. We will continue to use a 3-day courier service for standard domestic deliveries. There continue to be delivery delays to countries outside the UK. Please bear this in mind when ordering; if you are in a hurry for your order PLEASE LET US KNOW so that we can discuss options.

Standard shipping terms:

Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs quoted are for books weighing up to 2 Kg (4.48 lb) when packed. If your book order is heavier than this, I may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required. NOTE that I charge the same shipping cost to all EU countries, but the ABE system makes this rather difficult to set up; if you are ordering from an EU country not on the shipping costs list and so are charged the general International postage rate, I will refund the difference when processing your order. TAX on orders from the EU: our recent departure from the EU has left muddle and confusion for sellers and customers alike. For items costing more than 22 Euros VAT will have to be paid by the customer on receipt of the order, and possibly a handling fee levied by your postal service. Details of implementation and charges vary from country to country. We will do what we can to help but ultimately the customer is responsible for paying any taxes or other import charges. If you think we can help in any way, please contact us either before or after placing your order.
