Please enjoy and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. *IMPORTANT* Auction is for the slip case only. Any book pictured is for presentation purposes and NOT included in the auction. Please also note that this custom slipcase has been specifically constructed to house the US 1st / 1st printing of this title and later issues of the title are not guaranteed to fit.

CUSTOM DISPLAY CASE
Whenever I make a custom book slip case or display box for one of the volumes in my own collection I will invariably end in actually making three - The original for the stated purpose, the second in case there is a flaw in the first which I'm not happy with (and which can then act as a spare for future copies) and the third due to the fact that every time another collector sees one of these cases they invariably want one for their own copy of that book.
These boxes are individually hand made from the highest quality materials using time honored traditional techniques, and it is important to note that there are no acidic glues, resins, or epoxy mixes in their construction. Any paper and cloth products used are also acid free - a fact which is sadly not the case with many publisher issued slipcases, and something which forms a genuine danger to the longevity of the books they house.

Shipping and Handling Times Average handling/delivery time with the U.S. is 7-10 business days with overseas shipping to Europe 14 – 21 business days. If you reside outside of these areas please be aware that your order can take up to 30 days to arrive dependent on your country of residence and local postal service Payment Options We accept payment via eBay.com or Paypal.com Provenance I spend a great deal of time writing to authors in order to get books
signed, and in doing so I also include in every letter a Typescript of a favorite or
well-known work with a self-addressed full document sized envelope. Some
authors will no longer sign works or don’t want to be bothered with packaging and
returning volumes (understandably) However on most occasions the fact that they
have something right in front of them that only takes a quick signature and a
prepaid envelope for return means that I will at least get something back - if not
permission to send any books. Thankfully, on most occasions the opposite is true,
and I am able to send off books to be signed and do not have to use the typescript
as a ‘lay in’ for a 1st edition. I will also take typescripts to book signings as on
occasion I like to have them framed. *NOTE* Please be aware that any return
letters, materials that I have from the authors are NOT included in the auction. For
the reasons stated above many not only relate to the original returned typescript
but also to other items I have subsequently received. Many also constitute
personal correspondence between the authors and myself and contain private
information such as the author’s home addresses etc. Copyright Greyfell Art & Books 2017
