Verlag: Harcourt Brace & Company, New York, 1953

Harcourt Brace & Company. New York. 1953. 545 pages. First edition, first printing. First American Edition stated on the copyright page. No later printings noted; 1953 date is present on the title page. Book is tight. Binding and hinges are strong and sound. Two tipped-in fold out maps are present in addition to the illustrated map endpapers. Black cloth panel. Rear panel is bright and nice; as is front except there is a small piece of tape at top and bottom edge. This is only on one panel and does not affect the illustrated endpapers. Front endpaper verso contained a vintage bookplate that is still present however the vintage glue on the back of the bookplate has dried out, detaching the old bookplate, so bookplate is now laid-in. This bookplate is easily reattached and by doing so it would cover the shadow left by the old dried-out bookplate paste. Some of this shadow is visible through the endpaper on the other side. Now classic DJ is present with a small closed edge tear along the front on the top edge. Small open chip on top edge on rear. Minor light soiling and shelf-rubbing. $8.50 price intact on DJ flap; hence this is a later DJ married to this copy; further supported by Harcourt, Brace & World printed on base of flap; an entity not created until 1960. Prior to 1960 Harcourt was Harcourt, Brace & Co. This first printing is from 1953; in a 1960's DJ. A solid, sturdy first printing of the WWII tactical classic in a later state DJ. VG-/VG. All flaws noted. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 002703
