About This Item
Dublin, Ireland: Helicon Press, 1963. Dj shows light rubbing, bumping and shelfwear, including a small (1/2") tear on lower front edge and a small perforated tear on rear flap fold. In addition, there is a 1" plastic label-maker type label on spine at bottom, and a triangular section cut from front fold, perhaps to remove price. Blue boards show miniscule wear. Spine sound with tight hinges. Interior tight and unmarked except small inked numeral at top of front free endpaper. The spine label and this numeral would indicate that the book had been cataloged as part of a private library, but there is no pouch, stamps or other markings. 148 pp. "Little known facts of Jesus' birth give Christmas more meaning than pious legends.". First. Cloth. Fine/Good+. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
