Mr. Stubbs's Brother by James Otis 1910 Grosset & Dunlap Vintage Book

This is Mr. Stubbs's Brother by James Otis, a sequel to Toby Tyler, in a Grosset & Dunlap hardcover with dust jacket, published by arrangement with Harper & Brothers.

Questions buyers ask

Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.

I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.

I process order within 2 business days, wrapped and boxed so it arrives the way it left here. Don't forget, free shipping on orders $35 and up.
