Description
This is an antique book titled "Little Journeys to the Homes of American Authors”. It is a collection of papers written to provide a short biography of key American authors, including a description of where they lived, and a critique of their writing. Each paper is written by a different author. The book was published in 1896 by G.P. Putnam’s Sons in New York. The book has a leather binding, marbled boards and leather corners. The spine has ridges. The spine cover and the upper edges of the pages are gilded in gold. The book also comes with illustrations. The book is travel ready being 6.75 x 4.5 inches. The book is in wonderful condition for its age. The binding is intact and tight, and the pages are clean and free of tears. The edges of the pages are worn, as they are rough cut. Pages opposite of illustrations have a fair amount of foxing (shown in a photo). The cover has signs of wear consistent with its age. The leather on the back corners is worn (see photos). This is a wonderful book to add to any collection of antique literature about American authors.

This seller carefully packaged the hardback book that I purchased in bubble wrap and then tightly packed it into an appropriately sized box. It arrived in perfect condition without one flaw, wrinkle or tear to the dust jacked, binding or pages. I tried to purchase this book twice on Amazon.com and, in each instance, it was tossed loosely into a box and arrived damaged. Bravo to you! Thanks for a great experience. EBay remains a great marketplace with a wonderful seller like this!
