Description: Please note: This lot will not be broken up. This is a lot of six original early 20th Century (all printed between 1900 and 1925) hardcover books about education, intended for teachers and administrators and offering an interesting look at how the American education system worked a century ago. The books also double as attractive decor in an antique-themed room. Here is a list of the books in the lot. 1.) Education for the Needs of Life: A Textbook in the Principles of Education, Irving Elgar Miller, The Macmillan Company (1923) 2.) The Teacher and the School, Chauncey P. Colgrove, Charles Scribner's Sons (1911) 3.) Rural School Methods, Elmer L. Ritter & Alta L. Wilmarth, Charles Scribner's Sons (1925) 4.) Teaching a District School: A Book for Young Teachers, John Wirt Dinsmore, American Book Company (1908) 5.) The Art of Study: A Manual for Teachers and Students of the Science and the Art of Teaching, B. A. Hinsdale, American Book Company (1900) 6.) A Superintendent's Suggestions to Teachers, John Albert Cone, Hinds, Hayden & Eldredge, Inc. (1924) Overall, these books are intact but are in worn condition. As you'll see in my first 11 photos, the covers have generally heavy wear consistent with their age, with noticeable stains, scuffs, scrapes, rub marks, and fraying in the corners. Inside, the pages have yellowed over the years but remain fairly crisp for easy reading; you'll see in my photos that stains occur frequently but are mostly minor. Some stray marks, wrinkles, small edge tears, and dog-ear creases also occur. Additionally, writing occurs inside the front covers of several books, including signatures and old prices. Please review my photos and feel free to message me if you have any questions or if you would like to see more photos; the six books shown in the photos are the exact books you will receive. Your satisfaction is my TOP priority; please let me know about any issues before providing feedback, and I will resolve them for you! Due to my full time work schedule, please allow me up to 24 hours to respond to any message I receive. Returns are accepted within 30 days of receiving the item. In the event of a return, all six books must be returned (no partial returns), and I will then compensate you for return shipping up to (but not beyond) the cost I incurred to ship to you via USPS Media Mail. I am always happy to combine shipping on multiple orders. I will ship only to a shipping address listed on your ebay account. If you wish for me to ship to a different address, you're able to add the desired shipping address in your account settings (under "addresses") before making your purchase, and I will happily ship there for you! Ebay automatically adds sales tax for certain states and localities.
