1899 Murat Halstead LIFE AND ACHIEVEMENTS OF ADMIRAL DEWEY Montpelier VT Manila For Sale

Unusual but damaged binding. Large book telling the story of the life of George Dewey, major figure of the Spanish American War and a native of Montpelier, Vermont. The leather on the spine is separated; a piece of the leather remains and another strip is pressed inside the book; the covers are leather and nicely carved and gilded; pages have all gilded edges. 452 pages. Pages rather brown in tone; lots of illustrations, including photographs and etchings.kevindaleybooks
Note: I try to identify any flaws in books as much as possible. Sometimes a photo will catch something that I hadn\'t noticed when making the listing--so it\'s good practice to look at the photographs as well as to read the listing. I want buyers to be pleased with what they buy!
Thanks for looking
