Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. 1865 1st edition copy of Harriet Beecher Stowe's "House and Home Papers" which was written under her pseudonym Christopher Crowfield. This is one of the three books which she published under that name. The book contains a collection of works on housekeeping, home life, domestic econ…omy, etc told from the point of a view as a man. These writings were first originally published in issues of the Atlantic Monthly in 1864. The book is overall in very good condition with just some minor signs of wear and age. The covers only have some light wear with a little wear towards the extremities of the spine. The binding is good and sound. The interior is lightly toned from age but is mostly nice and clean, though there may be the very occasional page with a light bit of foxing, grubbiness, or some kind of other minor imperfection such as a minor interior crack, creased page corner, minor bit of soiling, small chip,tiny tear etc. Generally though, it's a nice copy. The book measures approximately 7 1/4 inches by 4 3/4 inches and is 333 pages long.
