GEORGE WASHINGTON THE SOUL OF THE NATION -- 1932 -- SALESMAN'S SAMPLE - Hardback

Descripción

This is a SCARCE hardback of this historic title. Printed in 1932 by Universal Book Co., this is the abbreviated version of the book, as were made by Publishers of the period, to be used a sales tools. When America was much more rural, and many Americans had no access to a nearby bookstore, salesmen would go door to door in an attempt to sell popular titles. To allow the salesmen to carry far more books, these special samples were made , so that they weighed considerably less. They had the same front board and title page as the regular book of that title, BUT they just had a few pages of each chapter. At the end of the pages, were blank lined pages to write in orders, and the rear board generally showed what the actual thickness of the book would be, as well as showing alternate available bindings of cloth or leather. Fascinating little books, and now a part of Americana. This book is in VERY GOOD + condition. -- THE PHOTO IS A STOCK IMAGE -- NOT A PHOTO OF THIS COPY !!. N° de ref. del artículo 234
