Description
“I’ll woo her as a lion wooes his bride.” This is a leather softcover copy of Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe, published by Thomas Nelson and Sons in New York in 1924. The book contains a special Christmas inscription of 1924 and covers the topic of medieval romance and history. Written in English, this book is a great addition to any collection of antiquarian and collectible books. Book binding is sound but the book shows much wear. See photos. The leather front has separated from the cover almost all the way to the spine. 3/4 the way, perhaps. Chips, splits, tears, etc. a water stain permeates the top left corner of the spine, and can be seen most of the way through the book. See photos. Beautiful Christmas inscription of 1924 inside front. Fabulous endpapers. Study notes hand written in rear. Dark blue ribbon bookmark. Book measures 6.25 x 4.25 x .5” and weighs 7 oz.

I was very happy with both my purchase and how everything came to pass! The book I ordered arrived much sooner than expected, and its condition precisely matched both the listing and the many photos provided. I always appreciate the transparency involved when photos are supplied. I got exactly what I wanted, and thanks to this vendor, it suffered no damage because the package was so well-secured for transit. Phenomenal vendor! I highly recommend their services!

Das Buch entsprach genau der Beschreibung, zudem war es super verpackt, so daß auf dem langen Weg von Amerika bis Deutschland nix passieren konnte. Voll gefreut hat mich der Aufkleber mit einem Spruch von Groucho Marx, den die Inhaber*innen liebenswerterweise auf das Päckchen geklebt hatten. Ich kann also diese Anbieter*innen von ganzem Herzen empfehlen!
