You are bidding on one copy of the hardcover book MECHANICK EXERCISES OR THE DOCTRINE OF HANDY WORKS APPLIED TO THE ARTS OF SMITHING JOINERY CARPENTRY TURNING BRICKLAYERY by Joseph Moxon as pictured.This is the EAIA facsimile reprint published in 1975.The original from which this is reprinted is Moxon's third edition published in London in 1703. It measures about 5-1/4" by 8-1/4", with 352 pages. Hardcover.I believe it should have a dust jacket, but the dust jacket is missing. Condition is otherwise excellent. SHIPPING: 2 pounds. (see below if you are bidding outside the US) I sell what I enjoy, and I collect antique woodworking tools and I enjoy photography! The queue is overflowing with tools right now, as they seem to be finding me faster than I can list them. So please keep watching my auctions as I have LOTS more to list! Or if there is something specific that you are looking for, please let me know so that I can get it listed for you to consider. You might ask: How can I know when you start new listings? The answer: please ETHICS IN DESCRIPTIONS: I also buy for my collecting on eBay, and I have been burned too many times by misleading (duh did I forget to mention .......) descriptions, and auctions with pictures only of the left side because the right side was trashed. Life is much simpler for me if I disclose what I know or see about an item before you bid, and especially before you receive it in the mail. I come from the handshake school of doing business, and hopefully you are like me and understand what that means. What goes around, comes around. RETURN POLICY: I believe that if you give honest descriptions, and include enough pictures, you shouldn't need a return policy. However, that doesn't mean that I won't make an occasional mistake. Please bid with the assurance that if I have made an error in my listing, I WILL take care of you. And if you have made an error, and bought the wrong size, for example, I will still take care of you (but I’ll let you pay the shipping!). SHIPPING INSIDE THE US: I would rather that you spend your money on my stuff, and not on shipping. So I try to pick the best shipping option for each listing, based on what is the least expensive, and what is needed to protect the item. I package well, and have a great track record of getting everything to each buyer, and getting it there in one piece. I use the US Post Office for everything, and I often find it is cheaper to use their Priority Mail flat rate boxes for heavier items (see below). WASHINGTON STATE BIDDERS: I hate to do this, but if I ship to a Washington address, no matter where you actually live, I either have to charge Washington State sales tax, or receive a valid resale form. AUCTIONS: I won’t end an auction listing early to sell it to you directly. As a bidder, I really dislike going back at the end of an auction to bid, only to discover that the seller had ended the auction early. So I won’t do that for you, or to you. WINNING MULTIPLE AUCTIONS: Wherever it makes sense, I will combine your purchases to save on shipping. But, after the auctions are over, you have to WAIT for me to put together your invoice, as the eBay computer cannot do that automatically. USPS POSTAGE RATE INCREASE AS OF January 27, 2013: Just about everything went up effective January 27, 2013 – domestic and international, but especially international rates. USPS PRIORITY MAIL FLAT RATE BOXES FOR HEAVY OR MULTIPLE ITEMS: The US Post Office has two sizes of their medium Priority Mail Flat Rate box (one size is 11-7/8" x 13-5/8" x 3-3/8" and the other is 11" x 8-1/2" x 5-1/2"), plus one size of their large Priority Mail flat Rate box (12" x 12" x 5-1/2"), and one size of their small Priority Mail Flat Rat... read more
