About This Item
Garden City, New York, U.S.A.: Garden City Books, 1954. "Like its predecessor, this book is written expressly for the layman. With his usual light touch and clarity, the author, after a thorough inventory of antiques centers and antiques shops and dealers throughout the country, tells exactly what you may expect to find in stock." This is a well kept book: Bright blue linen over boards with gilt print on spine; 274 pages, tight crisp binding; linen is lightly worn at corners; no external or internal marks; closer to fine as opposed to very good; dust jacket displays a chip at spine top and is mildly worn; - now protected in archival brodart wrapper - text block is bright and clean.. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Reprint.
