About This Item
This book is rare because occasionally it can be found with The Handy Book Company listed as the publisher on both the title page and the bottom of the spine. This one lists Hinds, Noble and Eldredge in both places. The 12 page, plus cover page, catalogue at the back shows that the Handy Book version was 50 cents while this one was $1.50 which is why it was purchased less often. This book is in Very Good- condition with small scratches to the textured boards mainly on the spine and at the top corner. The spine edges are worn. Wear to three corners. The gilt lettering is bright.. The back side has a soil spot and small scratches near the top edge. There is about a quarter inch tear at the back bottom hinge. Please see photographs. There is also two pages of ads at the front. The Popular College Songs is shown. History:
Arthur Hinds and Gilbert Noble started a bookstore in New York in the 1890's. In 1904 they merged with Eldredge of Philadelphia. This is an authentic book not a later facsimile. Today we know this company as Barnes and Noble.
