Item description

Washington Outside and Inside. A picture and a narrative of the origin, growth, excellences, abused, beauties and personages of our governing city. By Geo. Alfred Townsend, "Gath". Published by James Betts Co. Hartford, Conn. and Chicago, Ill. S. M. Betts Co., Cincinnati, Ohio. 1873. 701 Pages. First Edition. From an estate sale in West Texas. This is an excellent read. I cannot tell you how I enjoyed this book. It seems as though not much has changed in politics in the last 132 years. Book covers are rough but I contacted a very reputable binder that said he could rebind it to almost original condition for around $70 (mcspaddenbookbindery.com).This is a very rare and hard to find book. Please see Pictures. Due to paypal rules and fees and the USPS constant increases in prices, I can not combine shipping on items that are "on sale". REMOVES THAT OPTION FOR ME WHEN ITEMS ARE PUT ON SALE. If I charge $10 for shipping, and paypal take just over $1.50 in fees leaving $8.50 to pay for box, packing and post office charges. If you live in Texas it is usually a break even price for me. If you live in NY or CA I usually lose a little on shipping. If I refund any shipping via paypal, it will not be much as I cannot get the fees (that I paid on the refunded amount) refunded from. I am sorry for this but it is out of my control..
