Please review photos for more detailed attempt to present this rare mid-18th century atlas as it survives. We often over-describe any flaws that many sellers would not even bother to mention since most people would overlook them as minor and unworthy of comment. Many people tell us the books they receive from us are nicer in person than they appears on the screen. We want you to be clear about what you are buying, so we take numerous photos and try to describe it openly and honestly. Book Measures c. 8 3/4" H x 6" W. [B8970].
