About This Item
House-Warven, 1950. Hardcover. Good. Alban M. Emley, Author; Illustrations, D. Karsell. Beautifully bound, large book, with silver and teal, embossed boards (similar to an old yearbook/annual). Boards covered with a clear plastic protective dust jacket. This plastic book cover has yellowed over the years, especially along spine, and has grown a bit brittle, but isn't splitting. It's done a terrific job in preserving the lovely boards. The old scotch tape has left a small bit of residue along top and bottom of front cover. Hell of spine has light bumping. Corner tips are unbent/bumped, still square. Tight binding. Clean text block, only lightly faded. One small brownish spot on text block edge near top. (It is not foxing). Tucked inside is a yellow bookmark from a now defunct bookstore in Long Beach. Leaving that with the book, because it's an interesting bit of memorabilia. 220pp.
