About This Item
Front, back and spine all look great on the outside (colour and b/w), but the inside of the jacket has considerable foxing. Also some foxing around the edges of the flaps. A few chips top and bottom of d.j. as well. From the front flap: "There is a lot of wonderful baseball in this Chip Hilton story, and a lot of good sportsmanship and clean manhood besides. These friends of Chip's have what it takes to pull a demoralized and strife-torn team out of the dumps and get it back bustin fences again at the end of the story." From the back of d.j.: "The same faculties that have made Clair Bee one of the top athletic figures in the country have made him a successful writer of sports stories for boys."
