Thats right, I said terrible condition. Terrible. T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E
I need one I can cut apart to scan in the colonial pages - so as long as that section is decent, the rest of the book can be a complete disaster.
PM me if you have one that'll fill the bill.

PS to anyone reading this........HE ASKED FIRST so don't go tryin to start a bidding war! if there's only one, he gets it. I'll wait.
I paid good money for mine and knew about the aforementioned tendency to fall apart, so I have treated it gingerly.
A few years back I helped a friend's parents move their rare book binding business to Jacksonville, Florida. Since their son was a detecting buddy of mine they knew I liked coins. They gave me a poster of the Norweb collection and offered me a box full of plates and engravings of colonial coin pictures from heaven knows what old book(s). These folks dealt with rare books back to practically Gutenberg's era, so some of the engraved, non-photographic plates might've even been contemporary to the coins themselves. I don't remember.
Not knowing what I would do with just the pictures, I declined them, even though they looked neat and would've been nice framed and hung on a wall.
They were Mr. and Mrs. Grace and their company was Grace Bindings or Grace Bookbinding, or Grace Rare Book Binding or something like that. Jacksonville, FL. I'll have to see if they're still there. That's just south of here. This would've been, oh... seven or eight years back that I helped 'em move.
