About This Item
Chicago & Duluth: The Duluth Press Publishing Company, 1899. This is a Very Good (Minus) copy of the First Edition. Red cloth binding with gilt lettering. Clean text; 296 pages. The book has seen some use, with wear at the margins and a bump to the front cover. Spine has darkened and the blindstamped buffalo on the front cover has lost enough depth as to make it difficult to see. The front hinge has cracked, giving it a loose feel, although holding. Evidence of sticker removal on the FFEP. A servicable reading copy, but not for the more advanced collector. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. First Edition.. Hard Cover. Very Good Minus/No Jacket.
