Confederate General Service Accoutrement Plates
1987 by Lon W Keim
Hardcover/dust cover

...
1st Edition? Maybe. I haven't been able to find any record of a 2nd edition but I have read reference to a limited signed edition- this is not one of those.

This is a large book, 9" in./w, 11" in./h 1" n./thk, ... 379 pages all glossy.

The book is in very good condition I'd say though I am not well versed in the technical definition of these words in book collecting.
The book's cloth cover is nearly flawless having been protected by it's dust jacket which does show shelf wear. More on that in a moment...
There is a little yellowing beginning around the pages edges.

The owner signed the first page in ink- it is not large or dark- I have included that in the photos.
Other than that, the book is in excellent condition. I have not found any other markings and
have flipped through the book extensively and have not found any other flaw but, have not looked at every page so cannot and do not guarantee there are no other markings.

The dust cover is present but worn- still, it is largely intact. There are scratches and rub wear on the jacket and a tear about 1" in. long at the side and top of the spine. The cover's bottom corners show the beginning of tearing.

The book's content is thorough. This is not a book for a winter's evening reading. Neither is it for a casual dabblers in history.
This is a serious reference book for the dedicated collector or historian who wants to get his facts straight,
the relic hunter who wants to know what he just dug up or the buyer who is interested in the same
information for his wares at the trade show. Given the proliferation of fakes and reproductions out there these days, this is an invaluable guide for the serious Confederate militaria collector.

This book is filled with B&W and photos of relics, dug or not and period photos identifying them in place,
often times with the original owner wearing them. There are detailed images and descriptions of hundreds of CSA collectibles. Now there are not many of these available out there. Of the few I have seen that are available, mine is about the cheapest one to be had.

I've describe it the best I could. Give the pictures a good going over, they will tell you more than I can.

Hello, Moderators? Please delete this post. I am the author of it. I thought I had had it done long ago. Regrettably, I find it is still up. The book is long gone and the ad is no longer needed.
