eBay Original 3-Volume Set 1895 Revised & Enlarged Edition of the Extremely Rare FARROW’S MILITARY ENCYCLOPEDIA with 2500+ heavily illustrated pages — in fine condition This is a rare three-volume matched set of books, FARROW’S MILITARY ENCYCLOPEDIA by Edward S. Farrow and published in 1895 by Military-Naval Publishing Company in New York. It is the Second Edition, Revised and Enlarged, with Supplement. The three volumes are full of wonderfully detailed illustrations, charts, pictures and colorful maps, almost all of which are extremely detailed line drawings or engravings rather than mechanically reproduced halftone photographs. NO subject of historical military interest in 1895 has been overlook by Farrow, any anyone in the 21st century with an interest in the subject would be able to find this data elsewhere. The material in this 3-volume set is spectacular! There is no other word for it. The three huge hardcover books have the big original maroon leather embossed front and back panels, the original leather labels on the spine, original marbled endpapers, and the original gold edging on the top, bottom and front of the over 2500 well-illustrated pages. Each volume measures 2-½ x 8-¼ x 12-⅛ inches. VOLUME I weighs 6-½ pounds and contains 846 well-illustrated pages. VOLUME II weighs 6-½ pounds and contains 852 well-illustrated pages. VOLUME III weighs 6-¾ pounds and contains 840 well-illustrated pages. The total page count for all three volumes is 2538 and together the three books weigh 19 pounds! REGARDING THE BINDINGS: I personally knew members of the family of the man from Wyoming who originally owned these books (I bought them from the family) and who had them rebound just as they were published in three hardcover volumes, using most of the original cover components and all of the original pages. He had them rebound professionally by an expert bookbinder in Michigan in 1984 in order to preserve them, and I provide a brief quote from the binder’s letter to the owner of 28 November 1984 for the benefit of any potential buyer: “Dear Mr. XX Your Farrow’s Military Encyclopedia does sound like it was a very special find. It is unfortunate that so many books of that period used very thin leather — and now are broken in the hinge area.” That quotation does more than anything else to begin an explanation of precisely what the book binder did to keep virtually all of the original leather covers as possible (both fronts and backs) while using hard-to-see new materials properly attached to the heavy 2500 pages of text and pictures. The result is superb. The bindings are both beautiful and strong and many very experienced book collectors would never think to question their originality. They will easily last the new owner for the next hundred years! Along with the 1985 receipt for the binding work, we will also send the buyer two letters from the binder with the books. Our photos show the actual fine three-volume matched set of FARROW’S MILITARY ENCYCLOPEDIA from 1895 that we are offering for sale. NO stock photos. They have wonderful shelf appearance and no odor. PACKING & SHIPPING: we have over fifty years of experience packing and shipping rare books, our principal business. These very rare volumes will each be wrapped in plastic, well-padded and packed in strong corrugated carton that is over-taped in all three directions. If sent by Priority Mail in the USA (which we recommend), the carton mentioned above will be padded and packed in a standard Priority Mail carton which will be taped in all three directions prior to mailing. Insurance is for the account of the buyer, but the reason we recommend USPS Priority Mail shipment is that the less time the books spend en route to the buyer, the less likely they are to be damaged in any way. We have never had anything damaged in our thousands of shipments by USPS Priority Mail. We have been selling very rare and collectible books for more than forty-five years (20+ years on eBay) and have received over 6000 positive feedback responses from satisfied customers! Have a look at other fine antique and collectible books in our eBay store! CONDITION: exactly as shown, no odor. QUESTIONS: we do not accept returns so if you have any questions about this antique book lot, be sure to ask before you click the Buy It Now button, NOT after you have purchased the item.

SHIPPING: in the USA we will ship by USPS Priority Mail (approximate cost $45) or UPS (approximate cost UPS Ground $25, approximate cost UPS 3 Day $40, approximate cost UPS 2 Day $63). Buyer, please communicate about your preferences. FOREIGN BUYERS: we ship to most foreign countries at additional cost, however all foreign customers are responsible for any VAT payments, import duties and customs clearing fees. International buyers are required to submit their telephone number along with their shipping address. DELIVERY: we photograph every parcel we ship by USPS or by the public carrier specified by the buyer. We e-mail that photo and any applicable tracking number to the buyer as proof of mailing or shipping. Delivery responsibility is then in the hands of the USPS or of any other public carrier selected by the buyer, and does not involve Rapidapolis in any way. Communications about, and responsibility for the delivery to the buyer must be between the buyer and the public carrier, and can not include Rapidapolis on eBay. RETURNS: because of eBay’s approach to returns nowadays we no longer represent anything as being suitable for use for any specific purpose. We sell everything as a surplus curio or relic “as is-where is”, with no implied or other warranties of any kind given, and which may or may not be useful for its original or intended purpose. What you see is what we have photographed and what we will ship. RAPIDAPOLIS has a long history of selling on eBay since 1999, and of customer satisfaction with the items we sell and with our shipping. We encourage buyers to examine our listings carefully, review our many thousands of feedbacks and buy with confidence
