Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Hardcover, Blue Cloth, TEG. 1st. 8vo - over 7?" - 9?" tall. SCARCE: A very good example of this rare tome on Passaconaway. Dk. Blue Bds with Gilt Titles. 343 pp with 16 Full Page Illustrations-(Photos of the area). Former owner name on the inside of the FC and same on upper corner of the rear end paper. All else clean, unmarked. This is an odd one as there is no publisher listed on the spine (ALL other examples I have seen over the years have 'BADGER' in gilt on the spine foot. It is also about 1/4" taller than others, has untrimmed bottom page edges and the title page is mountad askew by nearly 1/4" (tilted to the right), additionally the binding cloth and gilt titles are of a lesser quality. I think this may be a counterfit printed sometime in the early 1930's, or perhaps there were unbound copies left over from the original publisher which were subsequently bound-up, leaving the Badger name off of the new boards, and sold. Either way there are very few of these, I have not seen another in my 40+ years of collecting. NOTE: I have done much research on this title over the past few months and it has quite a history. According to many sources it was actually written by William James Sidis the great child prodigy. This can be verified through several online sites such as The Official Sidis Archival Site and several others. However there are some who say there is evidence to the contrary, I am one of them. I have met folks who know the lineal descendants of CH. E. Beals and they indeed proclaim their relative to be the author, but. they also elude to the distinct possibility that the story actually came from W. J. Sidis who was a friend of the family during that time in Conway, NH. Sidis was well-known for psudonyms, perhaps he just decided (with Beals consent) to use the Beals name instead of his own as the author. After all this time who really knows? And either way it is a teriffic book on Passaconaway and quite scarce in First Edition. This example has a very faint number ghost on the spine and 2 dewey numbers in pen in the upper corner of the front fep (blank end paper) , no other marks are noted. Faux dust wrapper included in original chipped condition. Book.
