About This Item
New York, NY: Lothrop, Lee & Shepard Co., 1959. Book. Very Good. Cloth. Reprint. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. New York, NY, Lothrop, Lee & Shephard, 1959. Reprint. 4to. Yellow cloth with black lettering embossed on spine, illustrated in black and white (and sometimes, blue), 64 pp. The dust jacket is intact, but it has been taped together internally and externally, which gives a nice, if slightly fractured appearance. A little soiling at spine. Text block is clean, crisp and appears gently read. Simple diagrams show how to make all kinds of kites. Very good in a fair dust jacket, protected by an archival-quality mylar cover..
