I am selling these two together as I think they are complimentary and that is why I have them both. The larger book shows a little more curling at the corners than the smaller. Both are perfectly fine for what they are, books to be read and used. No internal markings in either one. Dimensions and weight are approximations. I do have a photo of the second book but it cannot be processed by the system. If you would like to see it, please contact me and I will email it to you.

When first published, in 1940 (this copy is a Bonanza reprint) I am sure this was the definitive history of the Colt Revolver. It still has a place on your shelf if you are interested in Colt history! From the rear flap of the dust jacket: "The book is in four parts. The first is a history of all Colt models ... the second contains a complete listing of all Colt revolvers prior to the modern types... the third is a collection of letters (etc.)... the fourth contains a number of facsimiles of patents..." 711 pages.

Price Reduced!!This book is like new, slight curling at the corners, spine is flat, does not really ever appear to have been used. I bought it years ago to attempt a restoration of a great 1904 Packard upright I had but I never even got started; for someone with the time and talent to use it I think this may well be the "bible" of piano repair. Dimensions and weight are approximate.

Very nice copy, near Fine all around, some shelf dulling of finish on dust jacket and possible curling at edges.

This is a 5 Volume set, actually I don't think a 6th volume was ever complied. The books were published at 3 to 4 year intervals, each standing alone as a work in itself; but it is nice to have all 5 in one place. These books have all been read and used. Volume 4 has a partially torn cover where it joins the spine, and former owner's name stamped inside front cover and someone else's name and phone on back page. I don't find any marks in any of the other volumes. A good sort of general interest set of books for a gun collecting enthusiast, especially if one is interested in learning about weapons you don't see very often here in the US.. Shipping will cost more than for just one book, contact me to figure it out.Dimensions and weight are approximate. Shipping by Medi9a Mail to lower 48 US states only.

An excellent reference work for marque enthusiasts. 253 pages with index. Sorry, no overseas shipment. Weight and dimensions approximate.

The works of William Smith as editor demand a certain amount of concentration as the material presented is very thorough; in addition these works were written at a time when the level of education far surpassed what is general today as evidenced by the many writers' inclusion of Greek and Latin quotations with citations but no translations. In other words, the reader was expected to be familiar with languages, particularly with Latin and Greek.
The condition of the actual books themselves is poor. The text blocks, for the most part, are useable though the boards are very fragile in terms of remaining with the book. In particular the spine of Volume 2 is detached at the front edge. Are these books restorable? I don't really know about that, it is the information in them which seems the most important.
The Preface writer says that the work is intended to furnish an account of Christian Antiquities to the time of Charlemagne; beginning at the time of the apostles and ceases at the beginning of what we… Read More

Here I have both the original "How to load, operate, disassemble, assemble American-Germam-Italian-Japanese-Russian and Other Military Small Arms" in big bold letters on the front cover, and, an excellent copy of that book, reprinted.

Second Edition has jacket reproduction of photo on First Edition jacket, though jacket has some small tears at the usual spots. Both have been read and remain in good shape. Fred Datig was one of the very first, if not the first Luger expert in the US to publish the results of his research. Numerous pictures and drawings accompany his telling of the Luger story.

This is a collectable book. It is Volume 4 of "The Library of Liturgiology & Ecclesiology for English Readers" which Library was edited by Vernon Staley, a cleric whose name has been valued lately with many of his works, both as an author and as an editor have been reprinted in modern format. This is not one of those. I have endeavored with my many photos to show accurately the condition of this particular volume. I have not seen another copy of this particular work offered for sale at the moment, at least not an original.
The first few photos show the boards and some moisture damage sustained by the front board and front endpapers. Both hinges, front and back, are solid. There are no loose pages. The Title Pages do not have stains. The actual contents of this volume can be read in the Preface, which I have photographed and presented. Also the Table of Contents will give more of an idea. One illustration is of ecclesiastical garb. There is an index at the end.
I plan to bubble wrap and box this volume… Read More
