Descripción

Doubleday Doran & Co., New York. 1928. 581 pages. First edition stated, first printing. RARE original DJ with $5.00 price intact on flap. Book is tight. Binding and hinges are strong and sound. Pages and endpapers are bright and clean. Burgundy cloth-covered panels are clean with minimal soiling, if any. Tiny dent along bottom edge of rear panel. The rare DJ is present. DJ shows soiling, stains, and toning. A large open chip at heel that reflects on lower front. The point that any part of the DJ is present at all is an achivement as the se just dont exist; they've all dried out and crumbled away. So despite the obvious large open chip, it is still desirable thanks to its rarity. This book was priced at $5.00 in 1928, when the average annual salary was about thirty dollars, so you can imagine not too many people were splurging for it. However, this has no reflection on the book's incredible content. The book presents thirty essays on thirty industries, written by thirty titans of industry, per their respective fields.
