A Saga Of The Sawtooths

Caldwell: Caxton, 1944. 2nd Printing. Hardcover. Very Good-/Very Good. Nick Villenueve. What a book. Lightly x-library (stamped withdrawn) but the wrapper did splendid job of protecting the dust jacket. Typically sturdy, handsome work by Caxton. Seussesque illustrations are gloriously rendered in the text, jacket front cover/board stamping/endsheets. The reds and yellows of the jacket read like new to me, remarkably so given the tedency of reds to fade and discolor. Slender book has an assortment of stamps pockets and so forth, but very carefully handled and structurally sound. There is an abrasion at the top of the books first endsheet, perhaps 2 postage stamps in size, hard to see as the color is unaffected. Jacket has 2 notable 'flaws' one being a short taped mend at front panel topedge, the other a laid on library title label (presumably as an aid to shelving) on the books spine as I suspect the spine was untitled when made. The book will be shipped in a new mylar wrapper as are all of our jacketed books. A foto of the jacket and book will be made when time permits.
