Description

The listing, 1896 Antique Leather Book Man And Glaciers Maps History Old Science Book Illustrated Plates Rare has ended.

Interesting and rare antique book published in 1896 entitled "Man and the Glacial Period," by G. Frederick Wright, published by D. Appleton and Company with numerous illustrations including color and black and white fold-out maps intact.

This beautiful old vintage book is 3/4 leather with marbled boards, still entirely bound with no major damage to the pages apparent, and just light wear and tear from handling and age. Very clean, readable, without noticeable significant tears or markings to text pages.

The outside cover has wear to the leather as shown with chipping/peeling to the upper spine, but otherwise a wonderful scarce scientific history book from the 1800s complete with maps in good clean condition.

Questions & Comments

do you have any representative photos of the inside pages?

Hi! I've added a picture of the title page where one of the maps is and you can see the pages behind it. They are mostly in good condition throughout. Hope this helps!

Are there any other fold out maps, or are the rest page sized or smaller. And what are the dimensions of the book please?

The book looks to be about 6" x 8" I saw at least one other smaller B/W fold out map that was like a folded flap, but haven't read through the entire book so might be another one, not sure. Then several other just regular maps like you said page size or smaller.

Could you take stamps for postage?

Hi, Sorry I'm in a rural area so send packages from my mailbox next door usually, and ever since 911 for security purposes you can't put stamps on anything over 13 ounces in the mailbox or they return the package. It has to be printed postage off the computer. I only use stamps on very light items. But thanks for your interest!

Thank you for explaining.

I am a cultural geography major and this would be a wonderful book in my geographical book collection!
