214 pp., + "Addenda et Corrigenda" Slightly faded but still pretty entry in the 'Oxford green' series of classical translations: the panegyric and occasional poems produced towards the end of Domitian's reign by the refined Statius, a favorite of Dante's. Grass-green cloth with gilt spine lettering, blind filleting; deckling top and fore; elegant typography set into generous margins. The exterior is nice-looking, tho' spine has sunned and gilding has been lightly rubbed; boards a bit bowed (photos). Front paste-down bears a decorative bookplate; EPs -- and by contact, TP -- partly foxed. Still, the text block itself is entirely unmarked. Binding (though abrupt, with TP in lieu of FFEP) is tight and squared; paper stock is sound, despite some chipping at extreme edges here and there. No DJ; archival cover supplied. In all: VG. For an excerpt, see photos.

Our domestic (US) rates are based on a standard per-item weight of 2.2 lbs, or 1 kg. Shipping costs for added items are discounted if we can safely ship them together. If a single item exceeds our standard weight, we may request additional postage.

International shipping is based on the total weight of the package being shipped. Our first choice carrier is USPS, but we will seek alternatives if USPS does not serve your country or if we can find a cheaper carrier with comparable policies (insurance and tracking). If the cheapest rate we find still exceeds the stated shipping total given in the listing, we may may need to request a higher shipping price -- but we will clear this with you first. On the other hand, if we can find a rate that is lower than the one stated, we will also lower the cost for you.
