Frontispiece, many black & white illustrations. 5 volumes. Thick 8vos, black cloth with ornately gilt spines (spines neatly repaired at ends, more so on first volume) pages untrimmed. London: Privately Printed for the Navarre Society, 1926. Very good.

This work is "not just a bare recital of grisly facts but a book fraught with the romance and color of human lives, which if not always of the most exalted, are certainly among the most vivid."

Dear Sir, I received two autographed letters yesterday, much faster than I expected! I'm a fan of Anne Morrow Lindbergh and I happened to find this item when I was browsing her books... The letters look great and I'm very happy to read her own writing in my hand. Thank you very much for your great business.

I want to thank you for your excellent service. I telephoned to inquire about the availability of a book this past Wednesday morning. Michele informed me it was available and took my order at about 11 AM EST. The next day when I got home from work, I was astounded to find that the book had been delivered in the early afternoon -- less than 30 hours after the order. Now, I know that UPS deserves some credit, but such fast delivery would not have occurred if Michele (and perhaps others) had not worked extremely efficiently. The book was well packed and fully meets my expectations, and Michele even got my name right! You have demonstrated a level of service I hope all merchants would meet. Thanks again.
