Description:
Boston MA: W. A. Wilde Company. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1933. Hardcover. The edition is not stated, but the book looks early. However, an inscription on the front flyleaf, stating that the book had been presented by a church school as a reward for perfect attendance, is dated 1945. The pages are tanned, but the book is clean and sound. Its attraction lies in the dramatic jacket, which shows a stately plane flying above a man clinging to wreckage in the ocean. A long chip is missing along the spine, but the cover art is intact. The titles on the spine have faded. A mylar Brodart cover now protects the jacket. .
