🛑 CONDITION FLAW - PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:

Due to the age of these 1970s perfect-bound softcovers, the binding adhesive has dried and crystallized. When opened, the bindings crack and the interior pages will separate and detach from the spine. Because of this structural flaw, this lot is being sold strictly AS IS as "reading copies" or candidates for professional rebinding. Please review all photos showing the separated spines.

Description:

Despite the compromised bindings, this is a rare lot of six vintage art monographs published by Ediciones de Arte Comermex. This series covers fascinating niches of Mexican art, history, and cultural antiquities.

A great opportunity for researchers, historians, or collectors who value the information and imagery and do not mind loose pages. Remarkably, each book still retains its original translucent parchment-style protective wrap and plain cardboard slipcase, which have protected the exterior faces beautifully.

This 6-book lot includes:

Cigarreras Mexicanas Siglos XVIII y XIX (Mexican Cigarette Cases from the 18th & 19th Centuries)

El Arte de la Cera en Mexico (The Art of Wax in Mexico)

Cristal de Granja en Mexico (La Granja Glass in Mexico)

Miniaturas Mexicanas (Mexican Miniatures)

Las Manos del Mexicano (The Hands of the Mexican)

Porcelana de Indias para Mexico (Chinese Export Porcelain for Mexico)

Exterior Condition:

The exterior slipcases and delicate translucent wraps are in good vintage condition with wear. 2 slip cases are missing . The pages themselves are clean and crisp, though some they will detach from the spine upon use.

Shipping:

This bundle is heavy and will be carefully packaged to protect the fragile exterior wraps and slipcases during transit. If purchasing on eBay, this lot qualifies for Media Mail shipping to keep costs low. If purchasing through Poshmark, the bundle ships under the standard 5-pound label limit.
