    Description

    "War With the South: A History of the Great American Rebellion", by Robert Tomes, MD.  Virtue & Co. publishers, NY.  Issued as a serial during the conflict, later combined into this three-volume set c. 1867.  Leather & board binding, spines sound and in generally good shape, the covers themselves showing more wear, some typical "shelf wear" along board edges/corners. Unfortunately, this suffered some water damage producing light staining into the pages. This was somewhat irregular and the three volumes show the effect to different degrees.  In some cases, page corners only, other pages to perhaps close to 1/2 the width.  Some pages appear to not show any signs of staining.  Boards remain flat without warpage (other than minor bending which was probably there due to age before the "great flood").  Unfortunate to be sure however certainly still suitable as a reading copy and some pages with illustrations could be salvaged if someone wanted to "part this out".  NO MOLD OR MILDEW noted, again other than perhaps the normal flyspecks/foxing present on a text of this age.  Difficult to price due to the damage, so a
    Make an Offer is added.  PLEASE NOTE: This is an
    excessively heavy
    lot to ship (20 Pounds packaged correctly), so extra S&H required.  Also, due to the nature of the item as clearly described as having damage and the cost & pain to ship,
    any return shipping necessary will be the responsibility of the buyer
    , so please take that into account prior to making a purchase.  Local pickup by prior arrangement is available in Southern Idaho, or possibly parts of Oregon, in which case payment by check (or other means) at that time would be preferable.  Otherwise, Media Mail shipping standard. If there are any questions, please ask prior to making a purchase, to avoid difficulty for either of us.
    So what's the deal here with a coin dealer selling "whatever".  Well, like a lot of people, I have to move and am working through 30 years of "stuff" to lighten the load.  Given that this is not my main line of business, people may wonder a bit, however I have been selling on ebay since 1997, and my company has been in business since 1937 in one form or another.
    Please Note: We require payment within four days of purchase, unless you contact us for other arrangements in advance of purchase. Items not paid for within 4 days will have an automatic unpaid item case opened - please do not make a purchase unless you intend to honor your commitment.  If you have any questions, please email.
    Please note our hours below and if needed contact us at least 24 hours before close of listing
    .  Buy or Bid with confidence: we have a heritage to 1937, and loads of good eBay Feedback, where I have been selling since 1997.
