Description
The first 12 volumes of Harper's New Monthly Magazine (missing volume VI) bound in 3/4 leather, with marbled boards and gilt spine lettering. Vol. 1 is dated 1850; vol. 12 goes through May 1856. Significant literary contributions to these volumes includes the serialization of works by Dickens, such as "Little Dorritt" and "Bleak House," and the first appearance in print of what would become Herman Melville's epic "Moby Dick," here titled "The Town-Ho's Story" in Vol. III. This is the only portion of the story to be published prior to the book issue and the first portion to be published.

Let's just say I've bought significant number of Easton Press and Franklin Library books over the past few months. Needless to say, I have not been disappointed with any purchase or with any seller. Whether I've purchased from them once or multiple times. All have been professional, responded to any questions I had, and open to discounts and combined shipping. I recommend them all to others who are seeking collectible books.

Interesting transaction! Seller accepted my offer. Thank You. Very well packaged, this is an oversized book, shipped media mail so shipping was very reasonable. As I received copy #93 instead of #38 as listed, I asked for an exchange and the seller actually refunded the return shipping! Can't ask for better! I would certainly deal with this seller again!

I was really glad to find that the seller offered several items on my hitlist -- and all of them are in great condition and precisely as represented on-line. They shipped fast and were packaged well, arriving without mishap or worries. ~These are great books and I really appreciate the value, not to mention the service provided. Thank you!
