CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF ALABAMA
 
As Revised and Amended by the Convention Assembled at Montgomery, on the Fifth Day of November, 1867
 
Montgomery, Alabama: W W Screws, State Printer 1871, pp xxx [i.e., 30]
 
(2nd printing of the 1867 Reconstruction Constitution)
 
BOUND WITH (and the following has a separate title page]:
 
ACTS
 
of the
 
Session of 1870-1871
 
of the
 
General Assembly of Alabama
 
Held in the City of Montgomery
 
Commencing November 21st, 1870
 
Montgomery, Alabama: W W Screws State Printer, 1871; pp 367, bound in original blue boards with calf leather spine; gilt red leather spine title, as issued. The book is thoroughly indexed and, at the end of the book, there is a directory (with post offices) of all the state senators and representatives.
 
 
1st printing of these Alabama Reconstruction laws
 
Important ORIGINAL primary source material from reconstruction era Alabama.
 
1st printing of the laws, 2nd printing of the 1867 Constitution.
 
I had this listed a few weeks back but eBay, in their infinite wisdom, cancelled the item saying that Reconstruction had nothing to do with the Civil War.
 
Usual old lawbook wear (calf leather splitting, starting to dry out - but holding well), else VG.
 
 
and
 
 
Early printings of Alabama's various 19th century Constitutions are notoriously difficult-to-find.

(the fine print ... [sigh] ... but please read :-)

WE REGRET WE DON'T SHIP OUT OF USA; SORRY, BUT NO EXCEPTIONS.

$4.00 for SHIPPING via carefully packed, plastic & cardboard-protected media mail. (NOTE THAT MEDIA MAIL CAN BE VERY SLOW - much slower than eBay's thoughtlessly stated 2 to 9 days shipping time - so check the Birmingham postmark upon receipt and you will see that the package was mailed in a timely manner according to stated terms of sale). 

Buyer may upgrade to priority at their option & expense.

PAYPAL IS THE MUCH PREFERRED METHOD OF PAYMENT. However, I CAN accept other modes of paying upon local pickup (MON-FRI). Please email me in advance to arrange such payment requests/local pickup or if you have questions. Thanks!

Now that I'm finally offering paypal, please pay promptly:  Winner's payment should reach me within 7 days; eBay wants to be notified of slow- or non-payers soon thereafter so NON-PAYING BIDDER ALERTS ARE FILED ON THE 8th day following the auction IF I'VE HAD NO CONTACT FROM YOU SINCE AUCTION'S END. That gives you just 7 more days to pay without a NPB strike. Delayed? Then email me - I'll try to work with you when necessary but please don't expect me to do so in a vacuum. 

PLACING A BID IS THE ETHICAL EQUIVALENT OF ACCEPTING THESE TERMS. PLEASE DON'T ASK TO ALTER THEM AFTERWARDS. In return, as our feedback clearly shows, we'll get your item(s) to you, as described, in a safe, timely manner. Thanks!

LIMITED LOCAL PICKUP OFFERED: Local pickup (you'll need    C A $ H    in exact change please - there's usually no money on hand with which to make change) available ONLY at my office in the Lakeview area of southside B'ham during office hours Mon-Thursday + Friday mornings. I'm sorry but there is NO WAY to arrange late evening or night time pickups, saturday or sunday pickups, meetings anywhere else, and/or pickups at my home. I need at least one and usually two business days' notice beforehand. Address and other instructions/directions given after you've won an item and contacted me via email. Thanks!

Want a "FIRST EDITION" of TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD by Harper Lee?

Then please do yourself a favor and click on the about me icon above under seller information and read how to protect yourself and your bank account from misleading or misinformed (and occasionally even deceitful) descriptions of the so-called "first edition" or "true first edition" of that great Alabama novel.

Thinking of bidding on a copy of STARS FELL ON ALABAMA by Carl Carmer? That's another Alabama book about which ebayers are often misled or misinformed:

Do yourself a another favor and - again - click on the about me icon above under seller information and read how to protect yourself and your bank account from misleading or misinformed (and occasionally even deceitful) descriptions of the so-called "first edition" or "true first edition" of one of the best NON-FICTION books ever written about Alabama.
