About This Item
Boston: Lothrop, Lee & Shepard, 1906. Hardcover. Very Good-/No Jacket. Picknell, G. W.. Bound in pale gray cloth with titles and decorations in green, black, brown and gilt. With six illustrations on coated paper by G. W. Picknell, all present. Early printing, with the latest title in the ads at the rear ("Dan Monroe" by W. O. Stoddard) published in 1905 and the heel logo in script. There is a common misconception that the month/year slug on the copyright page was only used for the first editions of L, L & S books, but it has been demonstrated many times that this slug was rarely if ever removed for later printings, and many printings done as late as the 1920s retain this information. L, L & S never indicated reprints so one must use the ads and the cover variations to determine approximate printing dates. This copy has mild edgewear and soil, with light corner and heel bumps. The pictorial front and spine show mild rubbing. Hinges solid; binding square. A tight, unmarked copy. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall
