I have a Hard Cover copy of the Jules Verne book The Giant Raft which includes " Eight Hundred Leagues on the Amazon, Part 1, and The Cryptogram Part 2. It was published by Butler Bros. NYC and is in very good shape. The spine is in very good shape with the slightest wear showing at the bottom and has the title embossed with a gilded background. The book cover front and rear is a maroonish color with black contrast (insetting) and has two insects on a black leaf on the front cover as well as EDITION in raised lettering and maroon color.
I have searched and can find no reference to this publisher or a copyright date. I am wondering if anyone is familiar with this Edition and could provide some information.

Green Leaf is excellent, imo.

According to my own investigation, thousands of people on our planet receive the credit loans at good banks. Thence, there's good possibilities to receive a short term loan in every country.
