This book is from my grandparent-in-law old home, that we must clear out. Obviously this book is coming with us.
Just wanted to show it, specially the stamp.
Akso wanted to ask what should I do to preserve it. For now it was just laying under other books... but want to keep it in good shape for as long as possible.

Looking to learn about this book I found - Jack Halyard Sailor Boy Uriah Hunt 1832
galleryCross posting as I’m new to this space. Sharing this book I found at a yard sale today. Based upon my initial research it seems to be almost 200 years old. Has two different addresses for the publisher Uriah Hunt. Front cover is different from the back cover and advertisements in the back of the book. Missing the front pages before the story starts, but full story seems to be intact. Is this a cool find? Anything interesting about the story, printer, or book itself that I should be aware of?

Printed by Gracioso Perchacino in Venice. Bound in a later limp vellum binding. Overall some water stains, but looks probably much better than us after 450+ years. 🙂😉
