"Roughing it" by Mark Twain - American Publishing Company, Hartford CT - 1872 first American edition, with first issue pionts - 18cmx15cm -18cmx15cm - condition: good, in leather binding, rubbing and wear to boards and spine, with all illustrations throughout the text present

Roughing It is a book of semi-autobiographical travel literature by Mark Twain. It was written in 1870–71 and published in 1872,[2][3] following his first travel book The Innocents Abroad (1869). Roughing It is dedicated to Twain's mining companion Calvin H. Higbie, later a civil engineer who died in 1914.[4]

The book follows the travels of young Mark Twain through the American West during the years 1861–1867. He joined his brother Orion Clemens, who had been appointed Secretary of the Nevada Territory, on a stagecoach journey west. Twain consulted his brother's diary to refresh his memory and borrowed heavily from his imagination for many stories in the book.

Roughing It illustrates many of Twain's early adventures, including a visit to Salt Lake City, gold and silver prospecting, real-estate speculation, a journey to the Kingdom of Hawaii, and his beginnings as a writer. This memoir provides examples of Twain's rough-hewn humor, which became a staple of his writing in later books such as Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876), and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889).

Boeken in goede orde ontvangen, dank. Er waren wat problemen met de verzending en dan blijkt dat het contact met de verkoper nogal moeizaam verloopt.

Spedizione a dar poco lenta, penso che avrebbe fatto più presto a viaggiare con una carrozza a cavalli. Spese di spedizione eccessive, pagati separatamente due oggetti arrivati nello stesso pacco

Beste Mayflower, ik ben zeer tevreden over het Caldecott-album als over de wijze van fairtrade

Ik ben deze week weggeweest. Ik heb u net een bericht gestuurd dat een onderzoek met postnl opgestart zal worden voor dit pakket; en u kan vervangende boeken krijgen of een refund.

Boek is in orde maar ruim 2 weken op verzending moeten wachten.

Everything fine – the envelope was a bit torn, but the bubble wrap protected the book well. Thanks.

Poor packaging as always. A padded bag is not suitable for heavy books posted abroad. Book sustained damage to corners,

Fast delivery and well-packaged (luckily, because the courier just slammed it through the mailslot). Always happy buying from this seller!
