Finlay, Roger T.

Verlag: New York Book Co., 1915

Beschreibung

This VG- book in fine condition. The book is square with strong binding; it is very clean, and free of corner bumps and edge dings; it has a nicely rounded spine with no fading and a very lightly bumped head and heel of the spine, without fabric damage. The illustration on the front panel looks nearly new; the spine illustration is just as good. There is, however, a 1/2" tear in the fabric of the spine, just below and to the right of the author's name (see photo). The interior is in superb condition; it is completely free of writing, stray marks, stains and page damage. The paper is lightly toned but very flexible. Both hinges are quite strong, but for some reason, there is a colorless glue on the front one, apparently put there to hold together the paper as it split over the hinge (see photo). There is no jacket. There is a page listing the numerous illustrations plus a glossary at the rear. This is book #7 of an 8-book series featuring a professor and two young lads, all who are latter-day Robinson Crusoes. The series is very educational with a great deal of how-to-do-it information, the sort of how-to information that the Boy Scouts would later employ in the Boy Scout Handbook.
