Double your traffic. LOSSING'S FIELD BOOK REVOLUTION 1855 VOL 1 POUGHKEEPSIE This is vol 1 of a 2 volume set. It is illustrated with more than 500 wood engravings by Lossing and Barritt chiefly from original sketches by the author. Lossing was born in Beekman, Dutchess County NY in 1813. He later moved to Poughkeepsie then to NYC. He authored more than 40 books. He was a charter trustee of Vassar college. Harper Bros publisher in 1855. 783 pages and in very good condition for age, in spite of worn corners and spine, the spine cover had to be reglued in 2 pieces. The book covers the American Revolution from its beginning to the Ramapo campaign of 1777. Sorry I don't have volume II. Lossing's books are in great demand in the Hudson Valley and bring high prices at local auctions. Payment is due within 7 days of auction close. International is shipped global priority only so tracking can be provided. I charge $5 handling fee for all international to cover extra handling, and cost for payment conversions. I don't ship first class due to there is no record of the shipment, so priority shipping is to protect both seller and buyer. Remember, your item must go through customs and other fees through them may apply. Actual shipping time will vary due to customs. This includes Canada. Shipping amount includes a handling fee and delivery confirmation if the package is sent USPS. I cannot control USPS delivery schedules, so if an item is needed quickly, discuss this need prior to purchase, so that holiday closures, seasonal congestion, more limited weekend schedules, etc. can be considered. I generally ship within 2-3 days of receiving payment but there are occasional exceptions depending on my work schedule so please COMMUNICATE YOUR NEEDS. Please compare the date on the delivery confirmation(the actual date of shipping) to the date on your cleared paypal receipt (remember if you are paying with an echeck through paypal it takes paypal 5 business days to clear and I won't ship till it's cleared). If these dates are within 2-3 days please do not complain about amount of time the package takes to arrive at the destination. I cannot control the post office delivery speed. I ship either first class or priority. I will ship this item to all 50 states and internationally but these extra costs will be paid by the buyer. Pick- up for any winning auction is fine- please make arrangements before placing the winning bid so we are sure we can coordinate schedules. I will usually combine winning auctions to try and get the best price for shipping. Please confirm before bidding as some items do not combine easily(i.e. books ship at a cheaper rate than other items or several bulky items may be difficult to combine)Many items are used and used items are generally not perfect although with many items the wear is minimal and not obvious. I have tried to describe the obvious marks but descriptions are somewhat subjective. Obvious defects will be mentioned. If you cannot make a decision based on the supplied pictures or information, please e-mail before bidding. By placing the winning bid you are agreeing to the item description. This includes the actual description, shipping terms (if you do not like s/h quote system that cover's the whole country and prefer a price specific to your zip then please choose a different auction) BY placing the wining bid in my auctions you are agreeing that this type of pricing is acceptable to you and thus you won't complain , etc. My feedback is important to me, please e-mail if you are not happy so we can attempt to resolve the issue. I cannot resolve problems if I am not aware of them.Although, generally, 4 stars is an excellent score, due to eBay's changes in feedback, 4 stars actually has a negative effect. If you feel my service is excellent. I would appreciate 5 stars. I will always leave feedback for my buyer's if they have left feedback. Ours is a smoke and pet free home.
