Condition: Regularly Used Condition. Acceptable for display.

Observations: These books all have wear. There are loose pages, spines and writing.  They came from the Estate of a man who was a very serious book and ephemeral collector. The larger books are 4" x 6"

1850: Mamman - Covetousness the Sin of the Christian Church

1914: Dictionary

1927: (?) New Testament and Psalms  The guess of the date of the book comes from a writing notation on one of the books with the year 1927.  This book could have been published before then, but the title page is missing as can be seen in the photos

1952: The Book of Common Prayer

Should you find more than one thing you would like, I am happy to work with you to combine shipping as I do not look to make a profit off of shipping.

I care about every item I carry in my store, and, spend the time to do what I can to make them as close to how they were at their newest state. 

All items offered in the Venture Back Collections store are thoroughly cleaned and inspected as closely as possible to note any observations of use as all items are pre-owned.

Glassware, Stemware, China, Ceramics and Porcelain are shortly soaked in water to expose any chips, cracks or crazing that is difficult to see with the eye so that I can do my best to keep these types of flaws at a minimum and then hand dried and polished. 

Other items such as wood, leather, silver, aluminum and brass are cleaned and polished as best as possible, unless otherwise noted. 

To me, each item I sell is precious; a treasure to you.  Each piece is imagined as if the last one in existence. 

Each item is carefully double wrapped and packaged for strength and the ability to make it to its destination safely. I am a realist in that after the packages leave my care, they could be tossed, dropped, and have other packages thrown on them; despite the "fragile" warnings I apply to the outer panels of the boxes.
