-Washington Irving was known for his short stories like Rip Van Winkle & The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. He achieved international fame with the publication of The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. in 1819.
This book is in vintage condition commensurate with its 60+ years of age.There is tonal yellowing & brittleness to the paper pages. The binding is in a bit of disrepair with first page (light pencil writing that indicates owners name and location in Alphararetta, Ga) being disengaged. There is no copyright date however; there is an advertisement to the first English edition signed in 1820. -I PLACE MUCH IMPORTANCE ON BUYERS WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED FROM ANY BUYER ON POSHMARK AND FOLLOWED PROPER PROTOCOL-ACCEPTED PURCHASE IN A TIMELY MANNER, LEFT A STAR RATING & A LEFT AN OPTIONAL KIND COMMENT.REVIEW MY NUMEROUS FEEDBACK RECEIVED FROM MY VALUED CUSTOMERS -PLEASE REFER TO MY "MEET THE POSHER" INFO & OFFER GUIDE.
