1st edition "My First Summer in the Sierra," by John Muir is as pictured & described! Came with bonus 1909 "Stickeen" advert! Book was bubble wrapped, placed in a plastic bag, bubble wrapped again, then swaddled in more bubble wrap! Fort Knox in a Box! Arrived quickly & safely. The book is gorgeous, and I believe unread since some of the deckled pages still retain their uncut folds! The tissue inserts are flawless! Thrilled to add to my growing John Muir collection! !!Seller Highly Recommended!!

A quick, neatly sent delivery with exactly the item as described. Thanks to the seller for delivering a personal dream that melds two of my personal passions (Edward Gorey, and the Metropolitan Opera) in one gorgeous vintage product that came directly to my home. The item was in great shape, arrived right on time and was packaged neatly, priced reasonably and truly a surprise on delivery even I already knew what was on the way. Thank you kindly!
