Description

Sometimes it is hard to discern if you value an object by it's rarity or content. So I will put these out there based on my opinion and utilize the Best Offer format for your consideration. I am offering 9 volumes from the works of Lyof. N. Tolstoi. They are soft leather cover with a gilt top edge. Spines have been reinforced with a clear coating. The very edges of the covers where the leather transitions to interior paper are somewhat brittle and the interior pages are virtually all very clean and crisp. There is a very small clean rectangular vendor plate attached to a front interior page which adds provinance. The books were sold by Emery Thayer Bird Co. of Kansas City which was a premier midwest department store established in 1890. To be precise there are 7 volumes from the 1899 printing and 2 additional matching volumes which were later released in 1911. Those 2 volumes are "Life of Tolstoi" by Nathan Haskell Dole, and Ressurection. The titles offered from the 1899 set are as follows: "Childhood, Boyhood, Youth", "Kingdom of God. What is Art?, What is Religion", "Master and Man Kruetzer Sonata Dramas", "Russian Proprietor Family Happiness & Death of Ivan Ilyitch", "My Confession, My Religion, Gospel in Brief". "What is to be Done? Life", and "The Long Exile Stories For Children, Walk In The Light". I can only supply 12 photos but verify that all books are in virtually the identical condition

    Beautiful instrument. As described, it is all set up and even in tune!!! An incredible value and much appreciated by a professional musician such as myself who will get much use out of it. Free shipping and got it right away. The packaging kept the instrument safe. Thank you so much!

    The piece is amazing, and the seller was very helpful and accommodating. I inputted the incorrect address at checkout, reached out and they made the correction for me and everything arrived as expected. A minor thing put appreciated nonetheless.
