Four volumes bound in two. Half vinyl, a description which I don't think exists, but here it is, with gilt print on the spine. A very attractive set, no date 1930s. Overseas customers please note the book will attract addition al postage."Three Adventist preachers, Stephen Haskell, John Corliss and Mendel Israel, a printer, Henry Scott, and an experienced door-to-door literature salesperson, William Arnold, travelled from San Francisco to Sydney on June 6, 1885. The Signs Publishing Company first began as the Echo Publishing Company, in North Fitzroy, a suburb of Melbourne. By 1889, the Echo Publishing Company employed 83 people and was the third largest Seventh-day Adventist publishing house in the world.The management were committed to the printing and distribution of Seventh-day Adventist literature but were also commercially successful - so successful, in fact, that they soon became the unofficial government printers for Victoria. The church decided this was moving in the wrong direction, so decided on a move to Warburton in 1906, where the operation could return to its religious roots." (Wikipedia)
