Here is an extremely rare and antiquarian book, “Poetical Works” by John Greenleaf Whittier, dated 1882. It has gilded edges and spine. It is 6.5 inches wide and 10 inches in length. The binding has loosened with age, and some pages have loosened. In adequate readable condition if handled with gentle care. Please note cosmetic wear and tear signs (pictured) from aging and handling over the years.

In addition to reading, this book can be used for display or decoration in any home, living room, office, or workplace. This also makes a fantastic gift for any book and antique lovers in your life.

PLEASE BE ADVISED: These books are vintage, originals, and in some cases, 1st editions over 150 years old. All photos are taken in natural light with no photo filters or presets applied; colors in photos are as true to actual item colors as a camera will allow. Due to the natural aging process and years of use, some books may show signs of wear and tear (shown in photos). Some inscriptions may be found in some of the inside front covers or pages. Some older books may have yellowing on their pages, and some pages might be loose or missing. It is recommended that these more fragile books are handled with immense care, professionally restored for readable condition (in cases where the spine or pages may be loose), or designated for decorative use. All books are appraised for value based on the current market.

I believe the aging signs and the inscriptions are half the excitement of finding these gems— you may be lucky enough to find Merry Christmas or Happy Birthday notes from grandparents to their grandkids with dates from the 1800s written in order the inside covers.
