About This Item
Chicago: Henry Regnery, 1964. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine/very good. Large octavo, 4 volumes. A crisp, clean set, near fine, with previous owner's blindstamp on the front free endpaper of each volume. On that same endpaper, in volumes 2 and 3 only, is a tiny ink mark. Dust jackets generally in very good or better condition, sunned, showing some rubbing, with some reinforcements to versos. Jackets on volumes 2 and 3 are price-clipped. A nice, appealing set of this masterwork of history by former president Herbert Hoover. Complete sets of the first printings in dust jackets are difficult to find.

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
