Description
Four or five volumes. Red marbled, hardback volumes, with 3/4 red Morocco leather, guild tooling on spine and gilt edged top edge. This set of five randomly chosen travel books by John L Stoddard offers a glimpse into the world of exploration and travel during the early 1900s. The gilt-edged antique leather bindings add to the aesthetic appeal of these original books, making them a great addition to any collector's library. The books were published by Balch Brothers and cover various topics related to travel and exploration. The language used in the books is English, and they were printed in 1905. I have 14 volumes out of original set, and will sell five volumes in first two sales, and the third sale will be four volumes. The volumes are clean inside, and still securely bound. Not ex-llibrary. There is rubbing and wear at all edges, and there is a slight musty old Book smell. These are true turn of the century antiques and would look good at the top of your bookcase or stacked on a shelf. The books describe with text and photographs and illustrations the authors travels to the following locations: Berlin Vienna, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Constantinople, Jerusalem, Egypt, Scotland, England, London, California, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone Park, Florence Naples, Rome, India, Paris, Spain, France, the rain, Belgium, Holland, Mexico, Norway, Switzerland, Athens, Venice, South Tyrolia, the dolomites Lake Garda, Sicily Genoa, Canada, Malta, Gibraltar, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Scotland, England, London The original set included 10 volumes plus a supplement. The last book volume nine was published from a separate set. The marbling is somewhat different than the marbling on the other 13 volumes.

Very positive experience with James. I didn't notice that it was pick up only but he worked with me and packaged the item and mailed it. I was very impressed with his customer service and responsiveness. Further, he was very personable. The map came in great condition and I highly recommend him as a seller.
