About This Item
Red paper over boards with black lettering. 212pp. Frontispiece b/w illustration, patterned front and back pastedown and endpapers. Owner attribution in ink on front free-enpaper. Very good. Usual age toning to text block, bottom edge corners missing on pages 43 and 155 do not interfere with text. Possible first edition (this publisher does not indicate edition in any consistent, verifiable manner) of the second title in the "Mel Martin Baseball Stories" series, the first two of which were published by C & L before Garden City Publishing reissued then in 1952 and added four more titles to the series (1952-53). This is the uncommon original issue and likely the first edition.
