Thanks for the comment on the signature. There is not a single William Channing tract for sale on eBay or any online bookseller in the world...
There is no foxing on the whole of the book but occasional spots as can be seen in the photos. Not all spots in old books are considered foxing....
Yes.
A book of eleven of William Channings Tracts. It's unique. Most of them are from 1810s to 1830s. I don't see any original tracts listed for...
It's hard material which I feel may be harder than coconut, but I just did a little pull out with fingers of two hands at the edges and heard a...
