About This Item
McBride, Nast and Company, 1913. Hardcover. Good. Signed. Second printing. Signed by Orville wright on the title page. Additionally there is also a small Christmas gift card inscribed and signed by Orville Wright and his sister Katherine which is mounted on title page. (Unfortunately, the gift card and title page and frontispiece have glue residue which has bled lightly onto the frontispiece). This was the first book illustrated by Norman Rockwell and has the 8 color plates, as issued. The volume is bumped on the spine ends and corners, has a sun washed spine rendering nearly unreadable the white stamped lettering, and there are several areas of light to mild soiling on the facing panels. The pastedowns and endpapers are moderately age toned and in addition to the aforementioned glue residue problem on the title page, there is a small nick and abrasion to the fore-edge. The book is now protected and housed in a custom half leather clam shell case.

About Trilby & Co. Books
Trilby & Co. Books is located in Northern California. The company was founded years ago by a Shetland Sheepdog named Trilby. Trilby's message to her family was brief and direct - the sale of books would increase disposable income and improve the quality of provisions in her food dish. My name is McTavish (picture above). I am the current CEO of this company, and I approve of her message. Oh, by the way, my speciality is literature, with an emphasis on first editions and signed books.
