Texian Press, 1978. First Edition. Hardcover. Acceptable. Autobiography of Dr. William Edgar Tatum, as told to his daughter, Doris Tatum Green. Published as one of a limited run of 500, by Texian Press in Waco, Texas. This is an EX-LIBRARY book. Has stamps on edges of text block, title page, penciled Dewey decimal number on title page. FFE also has red pen mark. The library pocket on the back free end page has been removed leaving remnants on the page, and more stamps revealed. Front paste down end paper has the remains of an ex-libris sticker that somebody has attempted to remove. Also a small sticker for the store where book was purchased. The tape used to keep the mylar-covered DJ on the book has yellowed and left markings on inside end papers. The mylar on the DJ is very scuffed and scratched and dirty. The DJ itself is dirty, with small rips, and both DJ and mylar are dinged at the tips and at the tops and bottoms of the spine. The DJ was taped to the boards, and bottom of the red boards are rubbed. Not really sure as to how the main part of the boards look, we're leaving the mylar covered DJ as is. Rough condition and the spine is slightly cocked. Pages are yellowed. Still a very readable copy.
