About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Grosset & Dunlap, 1949. First Edition Later Printing . Hardcover. Very Good+/Fair. Book #3 in the 27-book YA series featuring 16-year-old star athlete Bronc Burnett, with "a world of how-to-play tips interwoven with the exciting yarns themselves." Providing "a stadium full of thrills,'' this series was set in Sonora, New Mexico, & offered stories about baseball, football, & scouting, at which Bronc was equally adept, for boys from 1948-1967. Orig. written in 1949, this is a slightly later printing of that First Edition, listing to BB#14 in front matter& BB#9 on back DJ cover. In 180 pages. With tan textured cloth-over-boards stamped in brown with a baseball image to front & lettering to spine, this 12mo is in VG+ condition: very clean, pages slightly off-white & unmarked, binding strong & straight, front hinge starting. Modest rubbing to extremities. The unclipped DJ is only Fair, with many short tears & splits, closed inside with clear tap; nicely protected in new clear mylar cover free! Our photos depict the EXACT book you will receive from us--never "stock" images of books we don't actually have!
