Encyclopedia Britannica 9th Ed Vol 9 FAL-FYZ Scribner's 1879 Quarter Leather Bound 856 pages filled with great info and illustrations The landmark ninth edition, often called "the Scholar's Edition", was published from January 1875 to 1889 in 25 volumes, with volume 25 the index volume. Compared to the eighth edition, the ninth was far more luxurious, with thick boards and high-quality leather bindings, premier paper, and a production which took full advantage of the technological advances in printing in the years between the 1850s and 1870s. Great use was made of the new ability to print large graphic illustrations on the same pages as the text, as opposed to limiting illustrations to separate copperplates. A & C Black authorized the American firms of Charles Scribner's Sons of New York, Little, Brown and Company of Boston, and Samuel L. Hall of New York, to print, bind and distribute additional sets in the United States. These American-produced sets were identical to the Edinburgh sets except for the title pages, and they were of the same high quality as the Edinburgh sets. Scribner's volumes and Hall volumes were often mixed together in sets by N.Y. distributors and sold this way as they were interchangeable, and such sets are still found this way.

This Wayfinding Bible looks brand new! It was an excellent value and I am extremely pleased with my purchase. The Bible was wrapped with bubble wrap & was placed inside a sturdy shipping box. It arrived in perfect condition. I received my package several days BEFORE it was predicted to arrive and the seller was so wonderful about making that happen.
