Collector's Notes
The copyright page identifies this as a 1977 reprint of a Macmillan edition first issued in 1942. That gives the reader a clearly identified edition rather than an undated modern reprint.
The title page credits Louise and Aylmer Maude as translators and Aylmer Maude for the introduction. Translation is an important distinction for readers choosing among editions of Tolstoy.

Yes. Every photo on this page is the actual item you will receive. Not a stock photo, not a similar copy. What you see is what ships.
-
Honestly. This is vintage, so expect some age. When I find wear, writing, stains, loose pages, chips, or missing pieces, I note them and show them in the photos. Some marks add character. Some are just flaws. I tell you which is which so you can decide if this is the right one for you.
-
With care. Old books and fragile pieces are wrapped and boxed so they arrive the way they left me. Careful packing is one of the things buyers mention most in their reviews. Orders of $35 or more ship free.
-
Probably not. Everything here is one of a kind, and I rarely find the same item twice. Once it sells, it is gone. Vintage does not restock neatly.
