>1 saintmelville: It’s not the sort of item that I will add to my library, but I can really appreciate how gorgeous it looks.

Seems similar to the Narrative of the Expedition of an American Squadron to the China Seas and Japan, 1852-1854 that they published ten years ago (2013). No wood chest, 400 copies, and it cost $400.

This looks amazing. I'd probably really really consider at around 500$, but the most expensive book in my collection cost $400 and ~750 with tax...its not a signed return of the king!

Has anyone received this yet and can share some photos?
