About This Item
Bobbs-Merrill, 1950. Hardcover. Excellent. 0x0x0. Paul Laune. This is quite a find, as this is a book that appears to have never been used! The original copyright date is 1950, but I would say this book was published in the later 1950's. This book has obviously been sitting on a shelf for the last 60 to 70 years! Binding is super tight and pages are crisp and clean. Inside text is literally in Excellent condition! Obviously, no marks or writing in the book. Outside cloth covers are very nice with just a touch of corner wear and minor soiling probably from shelf wear. No Dust Jacket, but I do not believe this edition had one. This edition does have the original silhouette drawings. Definitely a very old classic of one of the great Childhood of Famous Americans books.
