There is some yellowing throughout the book and a few pages at the beginning of the book do have some tearing (shown) but considering it is over 130 years old, the condition is very tolerable. The covers look good with wear appropriate, as can be seen in my photos. You will be happy with this one! Always handled carefully and packaged securely!

About the Book: This is complete bound set of all volume 8 issues of the Contributor from November 1886 to October 1887 and contains an index for the full year in the front of the book. The Contributor was an independent publication associated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) between 1879 and 1896. It was a monthly periodical and sought to represent the Young Men's and Young Ladies' Mutual Improvement Associations (YMMIA and YLMIA respectively), the youth organizations of the LDS Church at the time. It was founded by Junius F. Wells, the inaugural head of the YMMIA. Abraham H. Cannon became editor when the magazine was purchased by the Cannon Publishing Company in 1892. With the death of Cannon in July 1896, The Contributor ceased publication a few months later and was not immediately replaced. The Young Woman's Journal had begun publication in 1889 and it replaced The Contributor for the YLMIA in all but name. However, to provide an official replacement for The Contributor that would cater to both young men and young women, the YMMIA and the YLMIA began publication of the Improvement Era in 1897.

I can't rate this seller highly enough. They were earnest to stick to shipping times promised but realized the product they had was not what was not the quality pictured, so they messaged me ahead of time with solutions (full refund, return the original and get a new item or keep what was sent with a partial refund.) I chose the full refund/new item - it came quickly and packaged so well! I appreciate also that they use recycled items for packaging. Thanks for a great eBay shopping experience.
