Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Hardcover. Full leather, but both boards detached (and present). Spine chipped and reduced. Text block still tightly sewn and glued in one piece. Wide outside margin, but cut close at the top. Pages toned from age. Despite these defects, this copy is still complete and considering the rough life intended for this title, this survivor remains quite a good example. 136 pages. The title page is printed tightly with details of the contents of the book, only some of which is written in the title field above. Title continues to include "exact tables of the sun's place, declination, and right-ascention. fixed stars, large table of difference of latitude and departure. use of sea quadrant, fore-staff and nocturnal, problems in plane sailing and astronomy." and much more. Date at the bottom of the title page is printed as just "178" which is either a misprint or intentionally left unclear so that publishers might write in the year of publication throughout the decade. Half title page is "Stamp's according to Act of Parliament, with three four-penny stamps" and indeed it is, with 3 red rubberstamps dated 1781 (but they are 2-pence stamps, not four-penny stamps). Printed with charts, tables, illustrations, etc. An attractive book and also one rich with portent and sense of use and practical adventure from the era of Revolution, exploration and the eve of the nautical Napoleonic wars.

In warmer months we stay open until 9 most nights, but you might want to call ahead. (540) 373-6148 Shipping rates are for Media Mail, in a padded envelope - WE DO NOT ADD TRACKING UNLESS THE CUSTOMER REQUESTS IT AND PAYS FOR IT - we have been selling books online for more than 20 years & find that the USPO delivers 99.99% of packages quickly and safely, without any need for a tracking number. We trust them & we hope you will too. If you need tracking, please consider PRIORITY SHIPPING. We ship orders valued at more than $50 in a box, at no additional charge. Priority mailing is for a Flat-Rate envelope, with tracking included. If the book does not fit into a flat rate envelope, we will likely need to request extra shipping costs from you, in order to put it in a box. We only charge the actual amount of shipping, so we hope you'll understand that it's just a matter of getting the book to you without taking a loss on it -- shipping is a service we happily offer without a 'handling' charge.... but we can't afford to charge you less than the cost of the stamps!
