Reliefs and Inscriptions at Karnak--Volume III: The Bubastite Portal (University of Chicago Oriental Institute Publications LXXIV [OIP 74])

A VG elephant portfolio containing a staple-bound paperback and unbound, a figure and 22 plates (included several fold-outs). The elephant folio paperback (pp. xiv), which contains a preface and list of plates, has a very small soiling spot on the title page but is otherwise clean, complete and securely bound. The figure and plates, which are complete, also appear clean with the exception of a small area in the top margin of plate 22 where the burgundy cloth hinge of the top flap appears to have lightly rubbed and stained the plate. The portfolio features paper-covered boards (pink), quarter-bound in burgundy cloth, with top, bottom and fore-edge cardboard flaps also being secured with burgundy cloth hinges. Includes a black string tie on the fore-edge. There are a couple of small stains on the binding in front, rubbed bottom corners, and a 1.25 tear along the rear spine edge from the top. Other wear to the portfolio is minimal. NOT an ex-library copy. **The size, weight and value of this rare, out-of-print item makes shipping somewhat problematic. Suffice to say, special arrangements and extra charges may be required, and expedited and/or international orders will not be accepted unless mutually satisfactory shipping arrangements are reached.…
