Forgotten Books of the American Nursery: A History of the Development of the American Story-Book
Boston: Charles E. Goodspeed & Co., 1911. Hard Cover. Good+ binding. Item #10131
Octavo. viii, [2], 244, [2] pp., frontis, plates. First edition. As issued, in publisher's boards backed in paper with printed paper title labels; all plates are present as called for. While the copy presents very well, there is some abrading on the spine; both inner hinges have been secured with cloth tape; tape on both pastedowns where a clear mylar jacket was affixed; faint dampstains here too, but only here; previous owner name on the front free endpaper with some small loss to that page obscuring a letter or two of the name; light and even toning throughout. Better than it sounds, this is a presentable copy of an uncommon study.
