Description
1834 Ed. Of 'The Life of George Washington with Curios Anecdotes' by ML Weems- This is a book that's probably been read a thousand times and carried around in many, many back pockets and it shows it with lots of honest wear and repairs. It's probably got a more interesting history than the contents of this book which was written to cash in on Washingtons popularity directly after his death in 1799. He became like a saint and this book was written quickly to cash in on that. The famous story of the cherry tree fiasco wasn't in the first edition but was a dded to the second one in 1806 so this edition will have that famous story, entirely made up by the author, included too. The repairs to the cover are my favorite feature here. The spine was redone in leather and sewn on with rawhide lacing. Those repairs might be 150 years old. Many pages had to be reattached, too. inv 8

I bought both of the vintage Hallmark card albums from this seller. As stated in the first feedback, the album and cards are in amazing condition. The complete collection was included. The price was reasonable , and they are something I had been watching for for some time. This seller provided a great value, perfect packaging and shipping service. They are as described, and I thank this seller for. Highly recommended!!!

A great experience. Seller very cooperative and helpful. Item described exactly as received. I’m always impressed when everything goes smoothly and this transaction was. I would order from this seller again and feel confident shipment would be fast, efficient and often more professionally packaged than expected.

item arrived in good condition and matched the picture. It's pretty fragile and the seller prudently used A TON of packaging. It will be a cool item for my office display.
