About this Item

This children's "reader" is charming, has many brightly-colored illustrations, and is in excellent condition given its nearly 100-year-old age. It is not an ex-library copy. Contents include several sections, such as Old Tales (including the well-known Little Water Fairy stories by Charles Kingsley) and many more; Making Things and Things to Do (including How to Set a Table, A Japanese Kite); Having Fun by Doing Things (Guessing Noses, How to Make a Lead Pencil Stand on the Tip(); In Other Lands (Indian Pottery, A Sea Diver); and Makers of Our Country (George Washington's Boyhood, Last Battle of the Revolution). It is one of the most fascinating children's books we have ever encountered. The text block is bright, and the covers retain their dark green color with orange and black accents. Elegant gift wrap at no cost on request. We will confirm preference after purchase. Near Fine minus. Text block is pristine, some light browning to upper and lower edges, some partial cracking of spine in one area. Excellent copy for collectors.

Shipping Terms

All books are shipped bubble-wrapped and boxed so they arrive in perfect condition. Each book shipped domestically is tracked. Shipping charges and delivery times are based on United States Postal Service estimates--the USPS says its estimates for international shipping times are based on shipping to "many major markets," so please bear that in mind if you do not live in a large city. If you order more than one item through us, the extra books will receive a 25% discount on shipping. If an order has special shipping requirements, such as if it is over-sized, we will contact the buyer with a request for extra charges before further processing.
Multi-volume book sets: When it comes to the cost of shipping, books that are multi-volume sets are usually treated as if the customer had ordered more than one item: that is, the first volume costs full price, with the extra volumes receiving a 25% discount. For example, a three-volume set will cost $10--$4 for the first volume, $3 for each of the other two volumes. The exception may be very large sets, such as encyclopedias. Those will have special requirements and we will contact the buyer about the shipping costs before processing the sale.
