Description:
Lothrop, Lee & Shepard Co, 1952. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good Dust Jacket. This old book with dust jacket is clean, solid and in great shape! This is an oblong hardcover book with 45 pages including many color illustrations. The binding is strong with all pages firmly attached. The end papers and a couple of pages show some light foxing. The pages are otherwise clean with no writing or tears. The copyright page shows 1952 as the published date. The red dust jacket shows a half inch chip on the top of the spine with a five-inch closed tear on the front next to the spine. There is also a short (one-inch) closed tear on the top of the back. I have placed the DJ in a fresh mylar jacket and this old book looks and feels great! We always ship in a sturdy cardboard box!
