Description: SHAMS OR Uncle Ben’s Experience with Hypocrites Written by John S. Draper (other2ise Uncle Ben Morgan, of Morganville, N. Y.). Published by Thompson & Thomas, Chicago. Copyright 1887; there is no printing date, but is ca. 1887-90. The book was revised and updated with new copyright date in 1899—so this is the first edition, but of unknown printing. “A story of simple Country Life giving a Humorous and Entertaining Picture of Every Day Life and Incidents in the Rural Districts, with Uncle Ben’s trip to the city of Chicago and to California, and his Experience with the Shams and Sharpers of the Metropolitan World.” The book is illustrated with woodcuts—some full page. DESCRIPTION: 412 pages 8 5/8 x 6 5/8 inches hardcover CONDITION: This hard-cover book is in very good condition. The book has undergone some restoration—repaired hinges and a repair to the lower corner of the front board. Otherwise in original condition. Boards are soiled and stained with well worn edges and corners. The interior is nice with no names, marks, underlining, tears or odor. There is light foxing and smudging. The book was printed on acidic paper and is tanned or browned with age—the paper is not yet at the point where it will break off in your fingers, but care should be taken when reading it. The hinges and binding are excellent with no loose or missing pages. BECAUSE MEDIA RATE SHIPPING IS FREE ON THE BOOKS I SELL, COMBINE THIS WITH OTHER ITEMS FROM MY EBAY STORE.
