This little biography frankly admits that it's basically a compilation of information about British stage actor Sir Henry Irving and that the author never got the opportunity to interview him. As far as I can determine, the author (who is not specifically named) is William S. Gottsberger, who also published the book. The book has some very nice illustrations and an index.

USEFUL INFORMATION BELOW

  • I strive to get items in the mail within 48 hours of receiving payment. If I am delayed, I will let you know.
  • I ALWAYS combine shipping. I love combining shipping. It saves me a box or a mailer! (However, keep in mind that combining a media-mail-type item and a non-media-mail-type item will disqualify the package from being shipped via media mail.) 
  • CHECK THE ADDRESS THAT YOU SUPPLIED TO EBAY!!! I cannot stress this enough. I’d say about 1-2% of the addresses that have been given to me have been incorrect. At the very least this will slow down the receipt of your package. At the worst, your package may vanish completely.
  • If you like the item and are pleased with the transaction, please leave positive feedback!
  • Conversely, if you have any issues with an item, please contact me! If I don’t hear from you, how can I know that I made a mistake in the posting?
  • Please be polite and professional in your dealings with me (and other eBay sellers). If an item turns out to be damaged or mischaracterized, it’s because I made a mistake, not because I'm trying to cheat you. I am always willing to admit my mistakes and make good on them. However, I do not react well to hostility and accusations.

U.S. Buyers: 

  • All packages are shipped with Tracking.

International Buyers:

  • I do not ship anywhere in South or Central America except Argentina and Chile and maybe Venezuela.

I know all this stuff sounds unpleasant, but in 99.7% of cases it won’t apply to you. The US and various world postal systems have really been very good about getting stuff to my buyers on time and in excellent condition, and nearly all of my buyers have been friendly and polite in their dealings with me, even when I have screwed up on something and they bring a complaint to my attention.
