Beschreibung

This Lothrop, Lee & Shepard book was copyrighted in August 1909 and is in VG- condition. It is 8" x 5-1/4" with 341 numbered pages; if it was issued with a jacket, there is no jacket now. It has blue-green ribbed cloth with all gold lettering except publisher name on the spine is in red; 5-1/4" x 4" coated paper applique in middle of front cover, in muted colors, shows standing man raising cup of coffee, in a circle of at least 10 seated boys, a wooden cabin behind them; both front cover & spine have 4 vertical & 4 horizontal red lines. The front panel and spine has moderate general wear; both lower corners have wear and the boards are showing on both; bottom edges have very slight wear. There are no corner bumps or edge ding, but spine ends have been bumped without tears or fraying. Lettering on spine is worn but still visible. Except for a neatly stamped name on the front paste down, the interior is very clean and completely free of writing, stray marks, stains and page damage. There is a page listing a frontis + 5 other illustration, all on coated paper and all are present and firmly attached. The paper is slightly toned and is quite flexible; end pages have some slight toning. Hinges are strong and not damaged in any way. However, the last several pages are a bit loose but holding; and the front end pages have a 1" and a 1/2" paper tears over the front hinge--it is still quite strong. The plot is simple and unadorned--the two groups of very different-background boys spend a month on the island where the two men had enjoyed their childhood summers, with initial tensions between the poorer boys and the rather snobbish rich kids diminishing as they have a month of adventures together.
