About This Item
Charlotte: TEI Publishing House, 1957. First Edition First Printing . Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. Oblong Quarto. 68 pages. INSCRIBED on the front flyleaf by Flossie Martin, who helped Thomas Martin put this book together. Hardcover bound in quarter black cloth with blue paper-covered boards. Rubbing and wear to the binding. Some foxing to the front cover, the title page, and a few other pages. There is browning to the rear flyleaves where a large newspaper page has been folded up. Text has a slight closed-in house aroma. Illustrated with photos throughout. The only author noted is Thomas L. Martin. However the newspaper article (from the Winston-Salem Journal and Sentinel, August 11, 1957), notes that "Miss Flossie Martin, a teacher in the Davie County Consolidated High School, and Miss Mary Jane Heitman, a Davie County historian, helped him with the historical sketches." The inscription on the front flyleaf reads, "To Lester Martin, / January 1, 1958 / from Flossie Martin." A nice association copy of a scarce book.
