These topics are important and I can alter factors for your needs and specifications. 1) Used vintage items often have reasonable wear and tear such as light scratching on glass plates, painted designs worn thin due to human contact, etc. Handblown glass has bubbles. These small peculiarities further point to authenticity. 2) Used vintage items may have variations such as levels of tarnish, faint scratches, slight yellowing, etc. I display all recognizable flaws in the photos and call attention to them in the description. 3) If shipping rates seem high, contact me and we can work something out! 4) All items listed here are original vintage items to the best of my knowledge and research. Ask any additional questions as I am continually adding information to the shop! I can combine shipping (USA purchases only) on items purchased the same day. I usually ship within a day or two of purchase, let me know immediately so I can ship them together and credit some shipping cost. I ship internationally through the Ebay Global Shipping Program and can't combine shipping on international shipments. Grosset and Dunlap - Publishers - New York. Copyright, 1955, by Grosset and Dunlap, Inc. Good used vintage condition. Someone wrote "Haney" and underlined it in black sharpie marker on the upper left inner cover (see photos.) At least it's written neatly! There is a 2-inch tear near the binding at the bottom of the copyright page. There is the expected wear at the corners of the hardcover book edges. See photos in conjunction with the description to get a full understanding of this vintage book's condition.
