To our valued customers!

·       Please see all photos for dimensions and measurements of this item. I will take as many detailed pictures of the item as possible and list any quirks or ?defects? this may have.

·       This item MAY have come into contact with items found at estate sales or garage sales of whose history we do not know so a ?smoky? or ?old house? smell may be present. However, this item has been freshly laundered or surface cleaned with Method Grapefruit Surface Cleaner and immediately placed in a sealed plastic bag.

·       Due to the unfortunate state of affairs affecting the United States Postal Service and the 8% fuel surcharge, we will have to up our shipping policies to help cover cost of shipping and of goods. If this surcharge is changed back to lower prices, we will gladly lower our shipping prices. We try to get the best deal for you, our customers. We are happy to refund shipping costs on combined orders or if the shipping cost we charged you was less than we expected. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Notes About This Product: 

Acceptable condition of antique 1886 Katholische Handpostille ("Catholic Handbook") collected by R. P. Leohard Goffine and by copyrighted 1886 by the Benziger Brothers; has a page of the "family chronicles" dating back to 1886; many of the pages are losing edges or have lost them already from age; there is a distinctive "old house" smell but because of the age and beauty of this antique book, I did not want to clean it and damage it
