Description: Scarce early novel of China. McClure Company, New York, 1908. Hardcover. First edition. Black cloth decorated in red and gilt. Slight rubbing and a little staining on the bottom edge of the pages, else near fine. Fronispiece illustration by Rudolph F. Bunner. FIRST PRINTING. Fading to boards as shown and edge rubbing with no wear through of the cloth. Front end paper has a label at top with no writing. Half title page has a small label with a name on it that has discolored the opposing flyleaf. I noted two pages with small ink marks on the lower corner as shown in last photo. Toning to pages with soiling to exposed edges. Very nice copy of a scarce book. International bidders please note: I utilize a third party shipper for international sales. Please note the actual shipping cost before purchasing. That is not my shipping fee and I neither receive it nor know what the amount is. Please do not commit to "buy it now" until you have seen the shipping amount that you will be charged. Thank you For International Buyers: Media Mail shipments only. Please note that, although you are likely paying very high shipping costs to have this item sent to you, I am not charging those costs. In the case of books, I utilize "media mail" to get the box to the third party shipper. "Media mail" is a very SLOW speed mailing process reserved for books and records that are potentially very heavy. If you can not wait for my shipment to reach the third party shipper at a very slow pace, please contact me before purchasing and I can add a faster (and more expensive) alternative to the listing to get the item to the third party shipper. MEDIA MAIL: The USPS allows books, records and other media to be mailed at a cheaper price than typical mail. It tends to be a much slower mailing process than standard mail. In addition, any employee of the USPS can open the package at ANY time for ANY reason to verify that what is inside is what should be inside. In most cases, the item is properly repackaged but, in rare cases, it is not and an item can arrive damaged. As my feedback suggests, I package very carefully. If you receive a damaged item that has the appearance of having been poorly packaged, please contact me prior to leaving feedback so that it can be addressed.
