Presents!
Building The Small Boat
Original 1946 First Edition Hardcover Book with Plans for Four Wooden Boats! No Reserve!

DESCRIPTION

“Building The Small Boat” Written and Illustrated by Cliff Bradley, Published by Macmillan in 1946. Great Vintage 1946 First Edition Illustrated How-To Book on Building Small Wooden Boats. Includes Plans for four Boats plus all the techniques required to build them. Hard Cover with Dust Jacket.

CONDITION

The dust jacket shows some slight wear and tear around the edges and there is residue from a sticker in the upper rightt corner. The cover is more or less perfect. The pages are all great, maybe some slight yellowing and pages 177 to 187 have very slightly creased corners. There are 3 or 4 brown dots on the edges of the pages, I don’t know if this is “foxing” or, more likely a coffee spill. Very minor in any case. If I were grading this like a vinyl record (what I mainly sell) I would say that the book was at least a strong VG+ and probably better overall.

TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

I am not really familiar with the grading of books. I have been selling Vintage Vinyl for over thirty years on the net so I believe my grading is fair and accurate but please bear the above in mind before bidding! If you are not satisfied that a purchase meets my description, I will do what I can to make it right if you give me the chance and work with me! Please feel free to check my feedback.

COMPLETE SHIPPING INFO

Buyer to prepay by PayPal (or other methods by pre-arrangement). Domestic U.S. Buyer pays calculated shipping costs for 1 Pound. Each additional item is only $1.00 for domestic bidders. PLEASE NOTE: My auctions with a "Buy It Now" require an Immediate Payment. If you purchase multiple B.I.N. items, I will calculate combined shipping and refund the difference to you! Or contact me ahead of time and I will remove the Immediate Payment requirement for you! Payment must be received within one week of close of auction or item may be relisted at my discretion. Overseas orders pay actual cost of shipping and must pay by PayPal (or other methods by pre-arrangement) in a timely manner. You are responsible for any fees - Customs, taxes, V.A.T., etc. - that you may inccur. Likewise lost or stolen items. I am happy to ship by any method that you prefer and to Register, Insure or otherwise protect your shipment but these all cost $$$ and are, therefore, optional. All items selling for over $50 must be insured. You may easily check the cost BEFORE bidding of any services. My shipping Zip code is 98353. Or, ask me and I will be happy to check for you. I am happy to combine postage on multiple purchases for International orders and only charge actual postage - please ask for an invoice, I will have to calculate costs.

Please read and understand: EBay / PayPal now requires door to door tracking and Insurance on all shipments! I strongly encourage customers to choose this option for both of our protection. I understand that this is painfully expensive particularly for overseas bidders. I am going out on a limb by allowing my overseas customers to choose shipping via regular 1st Class mail. If you choose to have your item shipped without Tracking or Insurance, you specifically agree to relinquish any and all rights to claims or refunds for loss or damage via eBay, PayPal or Credit Card companies and to abide exclusively by the terms as set forth in this auction. My apologies for the necessity of the legalese... once bitten…
