FIRST EDITION
!
Slight page yellowing, no bent pages, pages in very good condition, but again, since this is vintage 1979, you should take a fine point glue tip and lightly glue all loose and loosening pages that are pulling away from the binding to secure them.  COLOR photographs.  91 pages.
D)  HOW TO BREAK AND TRAIN THE WSTERN HORSE.  Paperback.  Farnam Horse Library.  By Bill Weikel, Editor.
Second edition, July 1971!
Copyright 1971.  Color photos.  Book in good condition, with some yellowing.  Corner is slightly bent, binding has no horizontal page "bend lines".  First 2 pages, and last 2 pages are just beginning to pull from binding and can use reinforcement as mentioned above.  You can take a fine point glue tip and lightly glue these to make them snug again.  Age has began drying the glue to start to pull the pages away.
64 pages.
NO PAGES ARE MISSING FROM ANY BOOK HERE.
Page yellowing and aging of the bindings have some of the pages beginning to pull away from the binding.  A thin line of glue along the edge of the paper and the inside of the binding where the page meet the binding with a needle point glue applicator will allow these books many more years of use.  None of the books has been abused, written inside, and there are no names, no highlighting, no pencil marks inside.  VERY clean inside books and in good very vintage condition.  Except for pages mentioned pulling away, they are all intact.  The Basic Horsemanship hardcover jacket has edge tears and wears around the edges with fading on all the books.  NO odors.  NO smoking premises.
All covers and hardcover on inside of jacket and jacket has all been wiped down well with CLOROX antibacterial wipes.

I
f items can be combined from my OTHER separate won auctions and they are paid with ONE Payment (not more than one), you will get the difference of any charge over .85 to actual cost if making multiple varied auctions in ONE payment if all won auctions fit into an available box I have.  Remember the larger the box, there is a good chance USPS charges a surcharge or the further the distance (especially when close or over 3,000 miles).  At that time, there may not be a discount as actual cost is spot on.  Larger items may not be able to combine into one box, and 2 shipments may be required.  However, ANY CHARGE ON YOUR END over the .85 of actual cost, I am then happy to issue a credit from .86 - actual cost difference on large combined orders.  The exception is
ALL Dutch auctions are already deeply discounted for shipping and no other discounts apply.
Dutch auctions are where you can bid on a quantity of more than one of the same exact item in the same auction.   Thank you!
