The Wisdom of Laotse (Modern Library 262) by Laotse; Lin Yutang [Editor] - 1948-01-01

The Modern Library, 1948-01-01. Hardcover. Very Good. Hardcover with jacket. Prior owner's name at top of front end paper, no other marks or writing. Binding is sound, boards show very light edgewear. Black cloth with blidndsamped cover, bright silver gilt title on spine, VG condition overall. Jacket shows significant wear with areas of small,circular, lacy loss at corners, perhaps from an actual bookworm? Some rubbing and tanning. Rear flap of jacket is detached but still present, all remaining pieces of jacket now in Brodart to prevent further damage, in overall fair-good condition despite these flaws. All in all a presentable copy, scarcely found in this edition even with a flawed jacket. Random House, The Modern Library, New York, 1948.
