About This Item
Random House, 1955. First Edition Second Printing. Hardback . Very Good/Good. 8x5x2. Douglas Gorsline. Vintage Cloth Cover Landmark Hardback Book with Dust Jacket. Book itself is in Very Good condition with a tight binding and mostly clean crisp pages. There is the same name written twice once at the top of the page and once at the bottom of the page with the number 8 under the top name on the first end page. No other writing or markings in the book. Stated First Edition Second Printing. Book has come from a private collection and is NOT an ex-library book. Outside cloth covers show some soiling and some wear to the outside corners and edges. Dust Jacket is in Good condition with some minor soiling, small creases and tears and some heavier edge chipping with some small missing pieces primarily at the top and bottom of the outside spine. Dust Jacket is NOT price clipped (195/195) and is now covered by a new clear mylar cover. This is a less common title in the Landmark series. Landmark Books and World Landmark Books are accurate, in-depth stories for young people in the 9-15 year old range. These living histories were written by award-winning authors or by men and women who experienced the events first hand. Written during the 1950's and 1960's and illustrated either with two-color drawings or clear photographs, the books are informative, enjoyable, and well worth reading and collecting. Marie Antoinette was only fourteen when she became engaged to Louis, the young dauphin of France, who would one day be king. This was also a cause for joy; the two most powerful nations in the world at that time, to be united by this pretty, young, carefree princess!
