About This Item
New York, New York: Harcourt, Brace & Company, 1946. First Edition First Printing . Hardcover. Very Good+/Good. Rather obscure now, this was the second work of mid-century YA fiction for boys set at "City High," New York's largest public high school, that explored not only typical teenage issues, but the threat of the atom bomb. Before becoming an author & journalist, the Russian-born Gollomb was a teacher at just such a high school. A FIRST EDITION, first printing, from 1946, this hardcover 8vo has matte black cloth over boards with colorful title boxes & lettering in bright orange & yellow to front & spine. Condition is VG+: very clean, binding strong & straight, pages moderately tanned around all edges. Slight rubbing to extremities, bumping to spine tips & corners. The price-clipped DJ is bright & colorful with fantastic cover art by MacDonald, but downgraded to Good due to several significant chips; nicely protected now in new mylar cover. Our photos show the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have on hand.
