(Fri May 24 05:15:17 2024) | Abebooks | OldBooksFromTheBasement | ISBN10: 0385182805, ISBN13: 9780385182805, [publisher: Doubleday] Hardcover First Edition Doubleday; Garden City, New York, 1983. Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust jacket Condition: Near Fine. Stated "FIRST EDITION". 11-1/4" tall, 464 numbered pages includes "Abbreviations", "The Contributors" and "Index". One-piece black cloth binding, silver and red lettering on both spine and front panel. This 6-volume series is a project of the National Historical Society. Front endpaper is a photograph of the Union IX Corps embarking for the assault on Vicksburg, February. 1863; rear end pages are a map of the major battlefields of the Civil War. Exterior is pristine: it is square, exceptionally clean, free of corner bumps, edge dings and scrapes and scratches; head and heel of spine undamaged. The interior is nearly pristine: except for an inked name/address/date on the back side of the FFEP, the book is completely free of writing, stray marks, stains of any sort and page damage of any type. It has over 650 Civil War photographs. The book could almost pass for new. The jacket is in Near Fine condition. It is clean, free of chips and tears, with only tiny areas of color loss along the bottom edge and the head of the spine. The reverse side of the jacket has masking tape along the upper and lower edges, along both folds and along the spine--the tape has discolored the jacket (see photo). The upper corner of the front flap has been removed--there is no price stated on the jacket. The book does not have any Book Club slug on the back panel at the lower spine. (Four of the other 5 books in the series that I have have the upper corner of the front flap removed--suggesting that there was a price printed there and that these are not Book Club copies). No remainder mark, not a former library book.
