This is the kind of condition description we traditionally make up as amusing fiction, the punch line being, "otherwise very good." The Concise History of the Mormon Battalion in the Mexican War. 1846-1847. By Sergeant Daniel Tyler. 1881 Edition. Hard cover. Measures 9" tall and 6" wide. 376 Pages. Contains a 106 page introduction, the first 64 pages of which are authored by John Taylor. The spine has some damage to the top and bottom edges, as seen in the photo, and the cover has moderate wear. The first introductory page, has a torn spot out of it, that measures about 2" by 3 1/2", and the binding has been taped with filiment tape. These can be seen in the photos. The first few pages have been lightly torn, next to the binding but are intact. In the very back of the book, on the cover page, and inside cover, are some ink blots, as seen in the photo. The front inside cover appears to have had a label stuck to it, at one time. The rest of the book seems to be in very good condition, with no pen or pencil marks. Overall, a very good copy, of a very rare book. Please see all photos, and e-mail me with any questions. Utah winner must pay state sales tax. Thank you. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3578657744&category=29364 Rick Grunder - -------------------------------1073925587 Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
