Lydia Bailey (1st trade edition)

Descripción

Doubleday & Company; Garden City, New York, copyright 1947. Stated "First Printing" after a limited edition of 1050 signed and numbered copies. This Near Fine quality book, with 488 numbered pages followed by an unnumbered page of sources and 6 unnumbered ads of other Roberts books, is square, extremely clean with no edge dings or corner bumps; head and heel of the spine are very lightly creased with no damage. The front board and spine are spotlessly clean--the gilt lettering on the spine and the purple and gilt shield on both look almost new. The bottom edges have very little wear. Except for the original owner's inked name and date ("summer 1947") on the front of the blank page between the FFEP and the half title page,the interior is completely free of writing, stray marks, stains of any sort and page damage of any type. Both hinges are very strong and undamaged. There is no remainder mark, no book club slug, and no signs of it having been a library book. There are no illustrations but both end page maps are quite useful in understanding the tale. The VG- quality jacket is moderately toned, nearly intact, with small chips at all four corners and at the head and heel of the spine--only a small part of the "H" in the author's name is lost (see photo). There is no tape on this jacket. N° de ref. del artículo BMR-2021-1-9-4
