About This Item
No dust jacket. Deep red fabric cover with gilt print on the spine. Very little wear to the cover, with a bit of darkening over the spine. This book does not actually have 1,000 books, just brief synopses. The author/compiler was the Librarian at the University of Pennsylvania. Copyright in 1924, this one is dated 1925 on the title page, so may be a second printing. Pages are clean, tight and bright. A rare book, almost 100 years old but not looking it.
