170pp. , xxii. No Jacket. Stated: "Reissued in the Swan Library, January 1938"; "It is a companion volume to the Greek text of those poems which has already appeared in the same series," previously published by Longmans, that work "as revised and republished in 1906". Index of Authors of Epigrams, pp. 169-170. Black cloth with brilliant gilt on spine, blind-stamped publisher's Swan logo at lower right front cover; top edge speckled, as if sprinkled with pepper; thin line of discoloration across top spine (ostensibly, sunning) "The Grolier Book Shop/ 6 Plympton St., Cambridge [MA]" bookseller label affixed at lower left corner ffep. Solid copy: tight binding, corners essentially square, no rubbing wear, no previous owner names. Clean text. Truly nugatory flaws: this is the way you want to read a pre-War classic.

Shipping terms
All domestic orders will be sent by USPS Media Mail, unless some other mode of shipping is requested or required and accepted in advance of shipping. International orders will be sent by USPS International Flat-Rate Priority envelope or box, unless the current weight and size restrictions cannot be met [e.g.: (1) the item is too large to fit the International Flat-Rate envelope or box or (2) the item weighs over 4 lbs. or (3) insurance is requested or required (e.g., the book is worth $40.00 or more)--in each such case, the item will be sent, only if the given destination country allows for it, by signing for the item.] All books sent by USPS Flat-Rate unpadded envelope (or padded envelope, moreover) will be wrapped in paper and packed between cardboard sheets larger than the book or with cardboard affixed at the corners, in order to prevent damage to the book during shipment. Books sent in boxes will also be wrapped in paper and suitably packed to avoid movement in box. The goal here is to ship essentially at cost, rather than to reap additional profit beyond the cost of shipping, thus keeping the customer's cost for shipping as low as possible.
