About this Item
London, 1734, a new edition with the author's apology and explanatory notes by W Wotton and others; small 8vo, pp [iv], 292; full calf, lacks the front board and front end paper consequently somewhat dust marked, spine rubbed and lacking the labels, internally a good, tight, clean copy and very suitable for rebinding or repairing. First published in 1704 this was Swift's first, most notorious, perhaps most misunderstood, and considered by many his best, work. It's supposedly a satire on religion and society but is far more complex than the simplistic objections allow. Seller Inventory # 000143

Store Description
Books are described carefully, accurately and fairly. Despite this errors can occur and of course we'll acknowledge any brought to our attention. If this error is material then we'll either make an appropriate partial refund or allow you to return the book at our cost and make a full refund of the book and postage costs originally paid by you.

More InformationBooks are priced individually and those prices do not include shipping costs or insurance. Books can also be collected, by arrangement.
The shipping matrix is, and can only be, a very rough guide to postage costs being based, as it is, on a base weight of 1kg (2.2lbs), with the additional book bringing that weight up to a maximum of 2Kg and with the package as a whole fitting in to the "small parcel" criterion of height + width + depth not exceeding 90cm and with no single side longer than 60cm (which certainly covers ordinary books, of course).
In consequence, postage costs may be less or more than estimated in that matrix but will always be charged at whatever rate Royal Mail has come up with at the time. We'll also seek to minimise postal charges by packing two or more books together or by using carriers for larger consignments, as appropriate. As for compensation for loss or damage in transit, Royal Mail has quietly reduced the amounts that can be claimed to £20.00 in general but additional insurance can be had and we'll let you know how much that will be where necessary.
