About this Item

[1989] FULL GENUINE LEATHER FINE BINDING by Easton Press -- NOT THE REGULAR TRADE CLOTH BINDING OR THE CHEAPER COMPOSITE LEATHER. SOME COMPETITORS ONLINE SAY THEIR BOOKS ARE NEW OR FINE BUT HAVE BEEN READ. THIS BOOK IS DIRECT FROM THE PUBLISHER AND IS TRULY FINE [NEVER READ] IN GIFT-GIVING CONDITION. Brown genuine leather binding features beautiful gilt designs/gilt lettering, 430 pages including Index and bibliography. Six raised ridges on spine; lettering, designs stamped with gorgeous accents of 22kt. gold -- a hallmark of fine bookmaking. This beautifully bound book was hand-selected from individually tanned hides. Textured and shaded, acid-neutral paper won't turn yellow over time. Pages are Smyth-sewn into binding for permanence (not glued like ordinary books). Edges gilded on three sides to enhance elegance of the book. Repeating eagle design on endpapers. Satin ribbon page marker bound in. Condition: Fine, never read. Free of smelly old humidity stains and the smoke smell of a cigarette or cigar smoker. Stored in temperature-controlled bookcase. This book presents President George Washington's treasury of his public and private writings, revealing him as a passionate, sensitive, generous, and deeply emotional man --- far from the stony, stoic hero portrayed in American history books. A wonderful, informative, and insightful book. Note: We are a well-established, well-respected, ethical book dealer in business since 1991.
