Check back soon! Edward Curtis North American Indian Collection 2,228 images of American History Perfect for the historian, the student, or the lover of American Indian History! Digitally captured for your eternal collection! The North American Indian by Edward S. Curtis is one of the most significant and controversial representations of traditional American Indian culture ever produced. Issued in a limited edition from 1907-1930, the publication continues to exert a major influence on the image of Indians in popular culture. Curtis said he wanted to document "the old time Indian, his dress, his ceremonies, his life and manners." In over 2000 photogravure plates and narrative, Curtis portrayed the traditional customs and lifeways of eighty Indian tribes. The twenty volumes, each with an accompanying portfolio, are organized by tribes and culture areas encompassing the Great Plains, Great Basin, Plateau Region, Southwest, California, Pacific Northwest, and Alaska. Featured here are all of the published photogravure images including over 1500 illustrations bound in the text volumes, along with over 700 portfolio plates. This is not a Native American reproduction artifact. Rather this is a digitization of work done by a photographer, Edward Curtis, in the early 1900's who took thousands of images of Native Americans to document their way of living. This item does not fall under the 1935 Indian Arts and Crafts Act because the work depicted was done a) prior to 1930, and b) not an Indian art or craft made by an Indian. This digital collection presents the 2228 illustrations from The North American Indian by Edward S. Curtis. Many of the striking images from The North American Indian have been reproduced widely, especially since the 1970s. While there is controversy about how Curtis romanticized American Indian culture, the intention of this digital collection is to present all of the published images in their entirety, with comprehensive identifying data including plate numbering, dimensions, and the original captions by Curtis. It is hoped that the viewer may get a sense of the content of the rare original volumes, in order to develop an informed understanding of Curtis and his project. The North American Indian (1907-1930), by Edward S. Curtis, was published in a limited edition and sold by subscription. The lavishly illustrated volumes were printed on the finest paper and bound in expensive leather, making the price prohibitive for all but the most avid collectors and libraries. Subscriptions sold for about $3,000 in 1907; the price rose to about $4,200 by 1924. Although the plan was to sell 500 sets, it appears that Curtis secured only about 220 subscriptions over the course of the project. In 1935 the assets of the project were liquidated, and the remaining materials were sold to the Charles Lauriat Company , a rare book dealer in Boston. Lauriat acquired nineteen unsold sets of The North American Indian, thousands of individual prints, sheets of unbound paper, and the handmade copper photogravure plates. They lay forgotten in the bookstore's basement until their rediscovery in the 1970s, which marked the revival of interest in Curtis' haunting images of American Indians. The set owned by Northwestern was donated by J.P. Morgan, Curtis' sponsor. It consists of twenty volumes in original bindings containing text and illustrations and twenty portfolios of individual plates reproduced by the photogravure process. Each volume measures 12 inches high, 10 inches wide and about 3 2/5 inches thick. Each is bound in half leather, that is, the spine and the four corners of the front and back covers are covered in a high quality brown Levant morocco leather. The covers themselves are laminated binders board; the central panel on each board is covered with a heavy tan cloth. The text block within each volume measures 11 inches high, 9 1/2 inches wide and 2 to 2 1/2 inches thick; the text itself occupies an area 8 1/8 inches high by 5 inches wide on each page. Each volume has in gold foil stamping on the spine a simple line decoration with the set's title at the top, the author, volume number in roman numerals, tribe(s) in the volume and the publication date of the volume at the foot of the spine. Volumes 1-14 were bound by H. Blackwell, while volumes 15-20 were bound by Whitman Bennett, NY, as indicated at the top of the front free flyleaf. There are around 75 photogravure plates in each bound volume, with image sizes averaging 5 1/2 by 7 1/2 inches; each accompanying portfolio holds around 35 loose photogravure sheets, with image sizes averaging 12 by 16 inches. In total, there are 1506 plates in the bound volumes and 722 plates in the portfolios, for a total of 2228 plates. This CD contains high quality scans of the collection in its entirety. The only software you need to view this collection is a jpg viewer, which should already be on your computer. This hard to find volume is perfect for those looking to take a peek into the lives of American Indians at the turn of the 20th century. (just a reminder, you are not purchasing that actual original volumes, as that would cost you thousands of dollars, you are getting a CD!)

I used your shed plans and I am so glad I did. I probably built this shed for half of what it what cost me to buy one pre-built. Thank you for creating these wonderful shed plans, I really am glad I bought them and used them. Frank B, Ohio. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I can't thank you enough. My husband finally built me the Gazebo I've been asking for for 5 years! He bought a plan from you and it turned out beautiful. I love it. Thank you! Allison B., Kentucky. . --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think your material is some of the best I have ever seen. One of your free bonus plans is what really sold me, that was all the 15,000 free bonus woodworking plans. The garden barn plans were what I really used. Check out what I did this summer! This great shed came out fantastic, thanks to your shed plans! Felix H, Indiana. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I save a lot of money by using your shed plans to build myself a wonderful wood shed cabin! I probably saved over $1000 building this shed then I would have if I had bought a store bought shed! Amazing work you have done putting this collection together. I'm now in my cabin hunting every weekend! I even have power hooked up to it! Joey P., Tennessee. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Franky, just a photo to show you we finished our shed. We purchased your plans back this spring and finally got started 2 weeks ago on the construction. My wife and I built this together. She is an experienced quilter and her knowledge of measuring, cutting and fitting cloth together truly made the difference. Your plans were great, especially the 3D . The shed is plumb and level, unreal. We are more than happy with it. Thanks very much for the plans. Be safe, Bobby and Helen C., South Carolina. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I needed a nice looking shed for my backyard in a nice subdivision. The plans you have made it so easy to do it, now all my neighbors want me. And it cost me half as much to build if instead of buying one. I really appreciate it. Danny H., New Jersey. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I really wanted to build an easy large shed, with a simple roof line, and your plans fit the bill nicely. It took almost no time at all and I got done in one weekend. I just wanted something cheap, simple, and easy to build and you delivered. Casey G., Oklahoma. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I built this little shed over a 3 day weekend. I was able to make one trip to the store and get all the building materials on a trailer. When I was done, I had almost no left over material, and I did not need to make any last minute runs to Home Depot. Amazing detail and amazing plans you have here. Thanks. John F., Texas. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was thinking of starting my own business building sheds. The first thing I needed was a catalog of plans to build different styles of sheds. Boy did I find it! I'm currently the biggest shed builder in my part of the state and growing fast, thanks to your shed plans. Thank you so much for doing this. Jimmy O., Arkansas. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I could not find the right set of shed plans to build a small shed in a side alley I needed. Your shed plans fit my needs perfectly. I could not be a happier customer. I'm so glad I found you!. Eric P., Arizona. Frequently Asked Questions: Why should I buy from you? There are lots of places to buy similar stuff on ebay. What makes you so special? What separates us from the rest is that we want you to be happy. If you're happy, you'll buy from us again and tell your friends. Getting one sale from you is great, but we want the next sale from you and the next one after that. It isn't worth a few bucks to us to have one unhappy customer. If you are unhappy, tell us and let us try to fix the problem. How many sellers will say that? Yeah, so, there are lots of other sellers on ebay. Are you saying the rest of them will rip me off? No, of course not. But, beware of what people sell on ebay. Many sellers on here will charge you an exhorbitant amount for shipping. Many will "claim" to provide discount shipping only when you contact them, they'll tell you they'll take a quarter off the shipping price for each additional item. We never do that. Our combined shipping policy is clearly spelled out for those to see. No tricky or cheap discounts. Simple as that. Also, when comparing our films to those of others, take note of not only the price of the item, but also the content. You'll see that we not only offer more content per package then our competition, and not only at the cheapest shipping, but also at the cheapest price too. What kind of permits, codes, restrictions, paperwork, etc., do I need to deal with before I build your shed/garage/gazebo, etc? We can't answer that. Every county in every state has different requirements. We encourage you to check with your local building department before beginning your project. Different regions also have different building codes and requirements. It is your responsibility that whatever structure you build complies with those codes. Remember, it doesn't matter where you bought the plan, or what plan you are using, or if you are even using a plan, you are ultimately responsible for the safety of the structure you build, so you will need to ensure whatever you are building complies with your local safety codes and construction standards. There is nothing more important that the safety of your loved ones. With that in mind, if you are inexperienced in construction, and are tackling a large project such as a shed, garage, gazebo, etc., you should verify all that you are doing with someone who is more experienced. My county inspector is requiring that I do something different with the roof, I need to do "xyz", can you modify the plan for "xyz" and send it to me? No. All post-sales modifications are your responsibility and you are responsible for incurring all costs after the sale. Do you offer any post-sales support? What if I have questions on how to build a certain aspect of a gazebo? Please, lets be fair and realistic here. We are selling a CD of plans for a nominal price. We can't be there for every customer after the sale holding their hand through email support through the construction process. By buying this CD, you must acknowledge that you are comfortable in building the designs shown, and are fully capable of making design and construction decisions safely and responsible. We do not offer any post sales support. Please be aware and respectful of this fact up front. Who's plans are these? Is anyone else selling them? They are our plans. We wrote them. We own 'em. No one else can possibly be selling them legally as we do not offer ANY resale rights whatsoever. If you see anyone else selling our plans, please report it to us and we will file a complaint with ebay (if it is on ebay), or through their ISP (if it is off-ebay). Are these Gazebo's easy enough for a beginner to build? I have no experience, can I do this? What do I need to know? Well, mostly, you can build this with basic woodworking knowledge. Depends on how comfortable you are with power tools and building your own structure. The plans are written to be as easily understood as possible so that anyone can understand them. However, you should have some basic wood working skills and framing skills and basic knowledge of how to join wood and build framing. Odds are, if you have ever built a deck, you can probably build a Gazebo. If you are unsure of what you are doing, it is your responsibility to seek the advice of a professional. Lets also be realistic. While we've tried to make understanding the construction process easy, building a Gazebo is a big job. Be aware that you need to know how to make accurate cuts, take accurate measurements and revise your dimensions accordingly, and know how to safely assemble a small structure in the proper order to be safe. How long does it take to build one of these? How many people do I need to build one? A lot of that depends on your preparedness level and how organized you are. If you have all the material purchased ahead of time, and have all the tools ready, and don't need to run back and forth to the store, one of our Gazebos can probably be built in 3 or 4 days with 2 people. 1 person can build most of it, but two people are generally required for the roof installation. It would obviously go faster with more than 2 people. I want to build one of your Gazebo's. It is your "xyz" design. Can you tell me how much it would cost me to build this before I buy your disk? Lumber prices vary from region to region, even from town to town. Building materials are very volatile in terms of price. We don't keep track of prices daily, and prices can vary from day to day or week to week, or month to month. In order for us to give you an accurate cost, we would have to print out the material list and start calling stores and looking up prices, and we are no more responsible for doing that, than we are helping you build your project! Costing it out is part of the project, and that is something you are responsible for. We won't even give you an estimate, because we know if we underestimate, that some people will try to hold us accountable for it. We do feel very comfortable in saying that building one yourself will cost you a fraction of what it would cost you to buy one pre-built. I like your Gazebo plans, but I'm looking for a slightly different size/shape/look, etc? Do you have one with x sides, that is y long? Can you get one? You can always ask, but the likely answer is no. We are always evaluating market demand, and if there is a demand for a new product, we will research it and make a determination on whether or not it is worthy of being pursued. But odds are, if we don't have it for sale, then we don't have it right now. And, we do not do custom plans on a request basis. I want to see a sample plan before I commit to buying. Please send me a free sample plan. We are sorry that our description, as well as our strong ebay reputation, does not provide you with a strong enough comfort level to purchase from us. With that said, we do not provide "free samples". What if my disk arrives damaged? We offer a no muss, no fuss guarantee that all damaged disks are replaced free of charge.

All items will be shipped within 1 business day to your PayPal address. We will only ship to your PayPal verified address. All items are shipped by USPS first class mail. In an effort to keep our costs down, that are passed along as low prices to you, all of our disks are packaged and shipped in economic sleeves and mailers. All disks come wit plain text labels with white text only. There are no graphics on the disks, and no cover art is included. USA CUSTOMERS: Most times, your package will arrive in about 5 days after we ship them depending on where you are at. However, lately the Post Office it seems has not been very cooperative with us and we've had a couple of customers wait a few days longer than that. Please understand that we cannot control the Post Office, so we can't guarantee a delivery time. If the item does not arrive by the last promised ship date in ebay, please email us and let us know, and we will make it right. The only unhappy customers we have are those that don't bother to contact us and don't give us a chance to fix the problem for them. NON-USA CUSTOMERS: Same deal above, except your packages typically have been taking about 2 weeks or so after we ship them. We've noticed that maybe 20% of overseas customers have been waiting as long as 4+ weeks for these shipments. The only explanation we can come up with is that it must be stuck in some container in some dock waiting on customs clearance. It happens, and for those 20% of customers, we apologize, but there is very little we can do about that. Your disk will arrive or we will replace it. Multiple items purchased by the same customer may or may not be shipped in the same package, at our discretion. We do not offer any additional discounts on multiple items other than the ones noted above. Every effort has been made to accurately describe the contents of this collection. On very very rare occasions, typographical errors may occur and we may make an innocent mistake. These items are described to the very best of our abilities, and in as much detail as possible. Feedback Policy: Please offer us a chance to fix any problems before leaving us negative feedback for any reason by emailing us first with your problem. The only thing we ask from our customers is that if they have a problem, that they give us a chance to fix the problem for them before they leave bad feedback. If negative feedback is left without any prior communication, we will assume you are no longer interested in communicating and working things out. WE VALUE your positive feedback and will work hard to earn it from you. We do not require any customers to leave us positive feedback, we do not consider it to be a purchase requirement. We consider a customer leaving us feedback, and feedback in general, to be a favor of goodwill. Our feedback is automated through auctiva and works in the following way to ensure each customer who leaves us feedback, gets the favor returned: 1. When your package arrives in satisfactory condition, we ask you to leave positive feedback so that we may close out the transaction. 2. An auto-notification is sent to auctiva after your positive feedback is received that the transaction is closed, and the system auto replies with a positive feedback. 3. If you leave us positive feedback, you should get a positive feedback in return within a short time, sometimes a day or two at most. If you leave a negative feedback, that situation is left for us to individually review. Again, we ask that you contact us first if you are contemplating negative feedback and inform us of the problem. 4. We do not leave feedback first. If you want positive feedback, please leave it for us and the favor is returned 100% of the time. If you do not leave us feedback, you will not get feedback from us. 5. Since all of our products are set to immediate payment required, we can not evaluate a buyer's payment time. The only thing we can evaluate is how easy a buyer is to work with after the sale. In order for us to do that, the transaction must be closed. For this reason, we require a buyer close the transaction first by leaving feedback so that we know we have successfully completed the deal. We have developed this policy to ensure that we do not spend time leaving feedback for folks who do not bother to return the favor for us, as we have in the past. If for some reason you are not satisfied with this feedback policy, please refrain from purchasing. By purchasing our product, you acknowledge that you have read and accepted all of our policies. We verify all disks prior to shipment to ensure 100% customer satisfaction. If you have any questions prior to bidding, please use contact the seller above and let us know. Thank you!!!!!!
