Lot Details
In 19th-century New Zealand, "country journals" played a vital role in documenting frontier settlement, farming practices, and rural life. These resources fall into two main categories: printed agricultural periodicals distributed to rural communities, and private settler diaries recording agricultural historians, and private collectors Previously owned by ER Chudleigh Books are sold as is, including any faults, and have not been collated. This means pages, plates and maps have not been checked, and sets are not guaranteed complete unless stated. Edition, printing and signature details are given in good faith and are not guaranteed unless stated in the description. Items are offered on behalf of vendors, and many will show wear consistent with age. This may include foxing, toning, ex-library marks, inscriptions, loose bindings, odours, or dust jackets that are missing, damaged or not original. Photos form part of the description, and bidders should look at them carefully. We are happy to provide condition reports and will do everything we can to answer every request. Because of the size of this auction, we can't guarantee a report for requests received close to the sale. Please get in touch as early as possible.
