Hardcover. Bound in full leather, likely the original binding. Plain brown with blindstamped bands on the spine. Bumped and scuffed. Front hinge cracked, but boards still attached (barely). Three works, each with their own title page, and with a single title page at the front showing all the titles. Paginated as a whole, 184 pages. Some foxing and some toning from age but not beyond what is ordinary for early US imprints. A scarce title, from a small NH press.

If you'd like tracking, please let us know before you place the order - We're happy to do it but it costs $1 extra because it means we have to print a shipping label for it individually, slowing down the shipping process considerably -- and we want to be able to keep basic shipping costs as low as we can.
